Hi MB, just finished my latest project, a Thunderbirds Monorail train. This is in scale with model railways. Take care,Kevin D

  1. Excellent job! Does it run?

  2. Thanks, no it doesn't run, I couldn't get it to do it on that scale. The ones that sit on the rail might be easier. Plus, I only have room for a very short length of track.

  3. Mind explaining what you made the train out of? Cause I'd like to have a go at it!

  4. Sure, the train was made by cutting up an old ho/oo model railway carriage (or two). The front of the cab was made from an old airfix seaking helicopter kit. The track was scratchbuilt, as were the bits atop the train that engage with it. Good luck, hope this helps.
