If you could harness that to a dynamo you could probably power most of the Forest as it's a trifle breezy at present.
Nice to see a bit of movement on a railway with all that static scenery.

I actually bought a kit for one of these a good few years ago..................

It was a SWINE to put together (all those little nuts & bolts) but it was COMPLETELY weatherproof and now resides on Flagg Fluorspar................

There were a fair few muttered curses............................. It toned down quite nicely after a few years in the garden.

I like it with the water barrel and drive shaft - it looks more realistic than mine now!
