I would agree but when i mentioned and advertised my forum page no soul had a look and so i continue to carry on on in my blog if people were to post comments on my forum page which for you and others is located in the dcc topics section and then go down to my logo image and that is my page so comment in there and i will act by moving my concentration to my forum page. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/65225-moving-pepole-again/

Hello again Jon.

I think a little bit of patience might go a long way here. After all what you are asking doesn't have an easy or simple answer. There are some very talented people involved in the model railway hobby and as far as I am aware no-one has come up with something like you have suggested.

This is not to say it cannot be done though. What I would suggest you try is to experiment with some of your ideas in a much larger scale/size, then you do not have the problem of the small size to worry about, then you can concentrate on getting the method right. Once you have mastered that, then start looking into making it smaller.

Have you got anyone from school or friends/ family that can help? As Mikkel said above, posting messages like you have will have the opposite effect to what you want. Try out a few experiments and post your results here, people can comment on things like that a little easier.

Thanks i have never been very patient and will stick to your advise since posting i have spoke to a good mate who has explained a switch carnt remember name that can be bought on a 1 polarity that springs back and the higher the cost the better it becomes as the switch can the be timed eg then replicating the human step in miniature and i agree that it may be a good idea to higher the scale and downsize it when it is pofected thanks Missy you have been a true genus and freind

Enjoy. Laurie lives just up the road from me.

It's great but i wasn't a fan of the waving it does not move very far our fluently but it has the edge over it's predecessor e-motion and are brilliant to the eye thanks for the videos and do post again.

I'm interested in automaton (the technical term for moving people), so I will be following your work with interest.

Do you have in mind any ideas of the movement you'd like your figures to make?
