The suspension really does seem to work. I have played with some of the small r/c cars and they are quite twitchy and he seems to have tamed that aspect

Wow! It makes the usual shunting of full and empty wagons into sidings seem totally pointless.
Now then, how do I go about motorising a Hansom cab?

I've always been impressed by that Faller? working car system that is available in 4mm, I have seen it working on Dewsbury Midland, It would look very impressive in the larger scales too IMO

Sorry but never go anywhere near there - I'm more the of the attitude of he's done that - why can't I?You're not kidding... It's getting very close to "Do I Just Give Up Now?" territory.....
I'm sure that the stuff you've posted has inspired just as many people as Giles has done with his RC vehicles so we never give up just move on up!

That is FANTASTIC, truely amazing. 
It looks so real. If the lorry was a little grubby and the edge of the baseboards hidden so you could'nt see the house/window etc you would think he had gone back in time.
Im sure i saw this bloke showing some folks this lorry at Telford, there was a gathering so i had a quick nosey and a radio controlled lorry was manouvering around the floor. Very impressive

fantastic, but I was expecting the saloon car to start rocking - especially as the windows seem to be steamed up
cheers

Perhaps it was smoke, not steam and they'd just finished?....

Even if that were possible I suspect the gait would be more akin to an AT-AT than a Hackney
