[SML] Tracking Scenery on a Budget

[Mark35816 at aol.com]

I'm designing some scenery for a high school  production of Disney's Little 
Mermaid and am considering tracking most of the  scenery on and off the 
stage.  In my mind I'd like to use multiple tracks  in order to track something 
off right and on left and vice versa.  Maybe  four to six track systems in 
all.  

I think I can figure out the  tracks, but coming up with an economical way 
to drive the scenery is what I'm  struggling with.  I would imagine that 
some type of manual winch systems  would be the most economical.

Anyone have a design for something along  those lines they can send me?  
Another idea?  I have several months  before I have to put this together so I 
have time to get some things built,  etc.  

As I said in the title, there is of course the budget to  consider.  

Thanks in advance!
