More work for my model engine

Ferris Wheel

I was looking for another project and had been thinking about either a merry-go-round or a ferris wheel for this engine. Well the ferris wheel won out as you can see.
The total gear reduction is around 160 to 1. The gear box was from a D/C motor and gear reducer in one unit before I removed the motor and made an input shaft.
This is the same engine and another gear box that I used for pumping water in this thread. (https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/putting-my-model-engine-to-work-pumping-water.93097/)

Now I will have to build another display case but that's alright as now I need another project.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for looking

Now you need to make some model people to ride it, and possibly be ejected to their ultimate doom

Thank you
I was thinking about some miniature animals instead.
Any ideas where I can get them?
