I design and built a cable car/ropeway out of LEGO Technic and tested it on a 40m zipline cable. It is not technically a Gondola as it isn't a continuous system but a reversible one.

I attempt to make the vehicle go uphill and downhill and utilise traction wheels and guide wheels with a suspended cabin below.
