>Greetings all!

>  I had this fantastical concept for a wall mural to incorporate an
>  electric/model train.  It occurs to me such electric/model trains function
>  because of gravity -- running on horizontal track (with a maximum grade of
>  3% or 3.5%).  But I'm writing in the off chance someone knows of a
>  electric/model train design that can run on a vertical surface . . .
>  perpendicular to the wall.  Anyone?

>  Thank you in advance for any advice and/or guesses!
