Rick- Most videos on YouTube are showing brakes sparking from slipping, not braking, but there are a few. I appreciate your comment from real world experience. Nothing from a movie, I just like pushing the envelope on what we can do. Spark from a pantograph and 3rd rail is in the works on my RR, so when I saw the model for sale on eBay with brake spark it got my interest.
John- that's exactly what I was thinking, something simple (or as simple as possible
Stan, I am not there yet, but wanted to see the crowds reaction and if somebody had already done it. John is on the same track as me, to keep it simple, but you bring up the crucial point as to how to trigger it. Any deeper thoughts are certainly appreciated if/when you have time. It's a project I will be looking at after the 3 or 4 right in front of me are done I have seen a handful of guys do spark/arcing from 3rd rail subways and pantographs and that is in the works currently on my RR. I have personally only seen 1 attempt at brake spark, that's why I posted. Thanks.
