I have a ceiling fan that does cause a little movement in a few trees,
but the downside is that it seems to 'throw' dust into the trees--it's
hard to vacuum a tree!
I think most of the good animation like the stuff pointed out on the
U-tube links might be a bit overused. I assume that it takes a great
deal of effort to design it, so when it works you're so proud you want
to show it off--again and again until, well, it gets old!
Guess I won't have that problem--just keeping my fleet of locomotives
running, the switchmachines doing their thing and the track clean is
enough for me.
Bob Werre,who never got a sawmill, or log loader, baggage smasher, or
running brakeman accessories! I did have a Marx rotating beacon run by
hot air--sort of a fits doesn't it!
