Powered paper train

This model was downloaded from Papermau. Thank you Ollie.
The whole model is made entirely from paper and card, powered by a geared motor running on a 3 volt mains powerpack.
The Hobart British Model train Club hosts an annual exhibition and competitions.
One comp requires a railroad related scene to fit into an A4 size space.My paper train won 1st prize a couple of weeks ago.
Large or small, any paper train is possible.
I tried to attach a video but it wouldn't let me so here are some stills.

Train model

I looked at the Papermau site but I couldn't find the little train. What is the link please? Of course I will need to scale it up.
Thanks

Cheers for your kind comments.
Yeah, 1st place, $100 prize money was most welcome.
I have used part of the money and bought myself a present.
HMAS SYDNEY in 1/200 from Russian traditions.
The web site listed it as suitable for beginners
Never had a card kit before.
She arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to look her over.
What have I done? Seemed like a good idea at the time.
It's a daunting project for a first kit.
Them Russian beginners must me a lot smarter than us Aussie beginners.

For the Paper Train download use papermau search , top left of home page and type in.. moving train diorama --- or try [URL="http://www6.plala.or.jp/TimeTripper/craft/c008.html"]

Darter - don't worry, just get stuck in!

Remember to copy it before you start - that way if you make any mistakes you can reprint!
