I've been recently working on a project called the Gramorail, which is a pedal powered train. The train will be in two parts: a locomotive with 4 pedaling passengers pulling a second cart. The second section will have an oversized gramophone playing a large record which project sound and video. The Gramorail is intended to be run on the unused railway tracks of Vancouver such as the Arbutus Corridor. The project is run by the Vancouver Design Nerds with workshop space and technical consulting from eatART.
The Gramorail is expected to launch in spring 2010 with a parade and street party. Given the success of our fund-raising party, it should be a good time for all.
