The above graph shows the absolute values of the angular and linear velocity of the train for a given absolute angular velocity of the handle. While the output angular velocity is half that of the input, the train itself moves very quickly. This makes sense considering that the train is at the edge of the tracks.
The images above depict the finished mechanism with a coordinate axis so that the origin is at the center of the train tracks, the tracks rotate around the z-axis, and the handle rotates around the y-axis. When the handle rotates around the positive y-axis, the tracks rotate around the negative z-axis. Similarly, the tracks rotate around the positive z-axis when the handle rotates around the negative y-axis. So, the signs of the input and output angular velocities are always opposites. This makes sense because the device uses external gears.
