Popular Post LocoLaurie Posted April 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hi All Contrary to popular believe I do sometimes make a regular railway. But not normally. The past two months has seen me combine one of my favourite TV shows with our world of railways. 'Thunderbirds Are Go' has two shuttling engines, one a pod vehicle, the other a sci-fi loco. Also there is a static crashed Monorail train, and a crashed plane spewing out smoke (steam effects). There are 4 audience buttons to press, and various lights around the model. Sound effects, and music if required. This was a commission build. Here is a video I hope you enjoy it as it is a bit of fun. It's not the point if it is your thing or not. The aim is to get yet more people interested in our hobby, so hopefully people get that :-) Stay safe, and keep modelling. Regards, Laurie Sci-Fi Cato Pass p.s. some images too. 21 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungrange Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 What scale are the Thunderbird models? Looking at the track and the girder bridge (which looks a bit like the Dapol kit) I'm tempted to think it's 00, but I seem to recall someone else on here building a rather large kit of Thunderbird 2, which I think was 1:144.

I don't think they are to scale, as Thunderbird 2 is supposed to be 250 feet long. That would make it 1m long in 00 scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a 'true scale' model of Thunderbird 2 may overpower everything around it, because it was supposed to be a massive craft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
