I'm not a toy train guy but I can totally see the appeal.
I did have a Big Big Train when I was a kid though and adored the thing!
Space-related trains like Battle Space! do interest me and here's a really neat home made clip I saw on YT about aliens and trains.
They look a bit like Battle Space! trains. Does anyone recognise them?
There's some cool rockets and radars in there too.
Film made by tmbooks. Have you made anything like this?
That is the best model railway layout ever built - amazing. The Lionel name is clearly visible in several shots, which means much of the equipment would be by Lionel, one of the biggest US model train companies. Their models are mainly American O Gauge, or 1:48; although they did later move into HO (1:87). They produced a line of military trains, which I understand were scaled down to OO (1:76) and produced in Britain by tri-ang, later Tri-ang Hornby. I think the Tri-ang Battle Space models have been mentioned before on Moonbase Central. The UFO idea is great fun, and really well done. Someone put a lot of work into that film. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Paul. Me too. I'm childminding Moonbase Grandjunior all weekend so can't get to the blog much. He never stops! Back to normal on Tuesday.
