Ive watched that video a half dozen times since it went out, just an amazing job. His cam mechanism to raise and lower the train wheels is just stunning micro work.

 

I almost bought the model just to try to motorize it to run on ttrak.

He finishes the video by parallel parking it. I'm speechless.

Those brake lights and turn signals are so cool in miniature, The whole project is unbelievable that's what I call nano surgery.

It comes to something when the power switch and charger socket are two of the largest components. I thought I was doing well soldering resistors and wire to 5mm surface mount LEDs!
