Also waiting for the undoubtedly awesome video. :cool
As promised, Here's a little video of the train with the new DeLorean. My apologies for the delay, but I had to make sure I did the video justice. :cool

Dude that video rocks..... Hope you set it to come back.
Love it love it love it!!!
Okay, I need to make some 1:43 scale figures of Doc and Clara hanging off the side of the train and a mini Marty with hoverboard to hang out of the DeLorean.
Anybody got any good screen caps of the "Shonash Ravine" sign, or would it still be "Clayton Ravine" at that point? Either way, i want to put a sign on the bridge.

Great SCOTT!!! That was brilliant man!
Don't tempt me.
Crap now I'm thinking about ways to do that.

I think it can be done!
You'd need to modify a section of track so it worked kind of like the false bottom in a magic trunk gag, and either extend the cow-catcher on the train or add some bumpers so the Delorean is a little more ahead of the train.
You'd also need a net or box under the track to catch the Delorean when it "traveled through time".
Basically, the train would push the car around the track, when it got to "zone 88", a servo would would flip the track down dropping the car, but put a piece of track down for the train. A small electric charge could set off a puff of smoke and trigger sounds.
You could conceal the upright train rails by using a trestle or something.
You'd need to do a lot of experimenting, and it would only work at a certain speed, but I think it might work...

There's some good ideas there. I think rather than make it complicated with servos, if I had a small portion of the track that was spring loaded so that the weight of the car would drop it and then spring back up and catch to let the train pass over it. The problem is I'd have to make it to where the track's circuit would never be broken or else the train would short out.
