Modeling use for old CD's and DVD's

How about a scratch built model of the circular Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg, TN or the Space Neddle in Seattle, WA. or any othe circular structure? May lean more to an N scale structure.

They would make a neat roof for a circular Diner (Double “D” Disk Diner for Dummies) or such…

Here’s a motor from an old floppy drive. The metal tab on the black plastic part engages with the threaded rod to move the plastic piece back and forth. You could use this to animate something on a layout. Although I think you’re going to need some sort of driver for the stepper motor. Not sure if it would be more trouble than it’s worth.

Not sure about the motor, but that little green connector plug might come in handy for locomotive wiring… especially if you have the mating female plug to go with it.
