POD BAY PERFECTION

This is simply marvellous! From japan, its a moving model of the Thunderbirds pod bay and I'm in awe! How is it done?

    I would assume it is something like the Faller road system, intended as an accessory for model railways. A guide wire is embedded in the roadway (or Pod Bay floor), and the model vehicles follow this. Control being by a similar system to a model railway, with direction and speed. At least, that would be my guess. Very nice.
