    Made this design for a dear old relative that believed in little green men. Might build this for November’s Ultimate Brick Show to go with the STEM train cars at my table display. Or sneak it onto the train layout. 🙂

    Yeah that’s pretty great. I love the design of the saucer!

    Here’s one that’s been reworked for the saucer to rotate while the train moves.

    Also… cow…. because aliens abduct them, or so I’ve heard.

    Nice! How fast does it spin, or what’s the gear ratio from wheels to saucer?

    Thanks. It’s just that little tan 12 tooth bevel gear part number 6589. From one axle to drive shaft and then to UFO shaft. So I figure it should spin noticeably but not warp speed, LOL

    The other axle is free rolling pins to help reduce friction at that end with these types of train wheels.
