That’s quite a climb…how do you think they get it back down?
release the brakes, let gravity do the work. the trick would be how to stop it at the bottom.Originally Posted by thevillageinn
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
Since it's a gear drive the lever is switched to let it power down to the bottom and then the lever disconnects either automatically or manually...
you can buy it on alibaba:

Nice find. I wonder how much rail it comes with.
Probably no rail for the motive power. On the following link, it mentions a 3M rail is $30. So - just like HO trains, you can buy the engine and the track is separate.
In looking at the track, that would be a fairly simple bending operation to make that rack. The other images show that the track is a series of splines,

so nothing is curved and there must be enough play in the wheels to make the splines work like a curve. One of the images has what looks like a turnout

Yeah, you're right. I asked the seller and he just replied. Rail is an additional $14/meter for 100 meters.
He also sent me some videos:
