An excellent idea. I cam always retrofit the carrier with the screw idea if I ever decide to go electric.
I had really wanted to make it a powered elevator, but once I got to thinking about it, it seemed an unneccessary gimmick that would have diminishing returns in the cache department. Meaning, I would spend all kinds of time and money on it, and not be very impressed by it. The toy will be stationary, so I eventually settled on it being too much overkill. But who knows, those ideas are very compelling for a future upgrade...
