About the model

A true fairground classic for your layout

With the Rainbow, a true classic in H0 scale (1:87) comes to your miniature fairground. The large gondola moves up and down on its characteristic circular path along the two arms, creating an impressive motion sequence. With a height of around 30 cm, the Rainbow also makes a real visual eye-catcher on the layout. It is driven by an N20 DC gear motor with 50 RPM. The model is controlled via an Arduino Uno in combination with an L298N motor driver. A reed contact with magnet is used for position detection, enabling a controlled and reproducible movement sequence.

The Rainbow in Action:

When the large gondola slowly moves upward, passes the highest point, and then returns toward the platform, a true fairground feeling comes alive. Through the combination of motor, Arduino, and position detection, a varied ride sequence with different speeds and movement phases can be implemented. The Rainbow combines the unmistakable look of a fairground classic with comparatively simple yet effective technology, making it a striking highlight among the other rides of your miniature fairground.
