Meccano TinTin Jeep using regular parts and powered with an Electric Motor  

A friend recently saw my TinTin jeep powered by the magic clockwork motor and asked me to make one for him also. Many years ago, I had made a model using regular Meccano parts and powered it with a magic motor. I decided to resurrect this model and modify it to use the MO motor. Unfortunately there was no space to use the meccano battery holder and switch. So I used an electronics battery holder that houses four cells and also used a three position switch so that the motor can be run in reverse. I am using a worm gear on the motor to run a 19 tooth gear on the shaft of the rear wheels. The front wheels can be swivelled to make the jeep run in a circle, or can be kept straight. You can fast forward it to see it going in reverse towards the end.
