Quite a fun little project

Looking really great! I can even see the next iteration, not much to change to make a realy great cargo elevator there, just wider with bigger doors, terrific. I like the rail system, too.

My old eyes must be playing tricks on me but I thought I saw some sort of climbing device in the back of the shaft...naw. , nope guess it was a trick of the lighting and the graphics interacting.
