PaperClip Art 1

If you thought the carousel was something, just look at the Roller Coaster on the right, aptly named 'Spinning Wheels'.

This, too, is made from Paper Clips (amazing what those little paper holders can be used for).

A chain with hooks, pulls the cart up the track and releases it at the top of the first rise. The cart then rockets down the track up another rise, down again, up once more and then spirals down to link up again where it begins again.

DETAILS:

-- 29'' high, 64'' long, 22'' wide, and over 2,000 paper clips A liquor store display motor and 2 small gears, drive a larger gear made of paperclips which in turn pulls the chain (also made from paperclips) that starts the cart on its amazing journey.

--The cart, made from paperclips, rides on a wheel trolley (just the outsides which press against the wheel axles) from a 1950 era Lionel train -- the wheels come from a 1970 era Lionel train. Did I mention the cart has 3 rows of seats, each having their own moveable safety bar?

.. Some have said I've got too much time on my hands -- they may be right.
