Finished The Depot Clock

[RichB]

I have been working on this project for about 3 months now and it is finally finished. It was the biggest project I have done with the scrollsaw and it was a lot of fun. Eric said I just had to show it off so here it is. It has train sounds on the hour and I can switch on the flashing lights when I show it off. Thanks for looking and I will link to my Photobucket for more pictures on the construction. Rich

That is awesome. My grandfather was a RR yard man and at one time my town almost folded when CSX moved the maintenance yard to GA.

Chris63: Thanks for the comment. To answer your question I bought the pattern from "The Art Factory". They also have the Lights and Sounds for the clock.

Alaphageek: I have no idea on how to do a video. The red and white lights flash only when you push the button. They can't seem to get the lights to flash on the hour with the sounds. If they did I think it would be very expensive. The train sounds are different at each hour. Mostly track sound, horn, steam, and bell. You can push a different button to hear a train sound at any time. The sounds run with a light sensor so it doesn't run at night but for it to run with any volume the sensor has to be in the light or close to in. It works just right in our living room which is not real bright.

Great job, Rich. My 2-year-old would LOVE this clock. She absolutely loves trains.
Job well done.
