Anyone ever attempted an HO scale Thunderbolt?

Mon Jun 23, 2008 3:39 am

This may not be the proper forum, but just curious if anyone else had attempted to make an HO scale Thunderbolt? I am not a modeler as far as rivit counting and what-not, but I was amazed at what I could come up with using nothing but some styrene and misc. pieces and parts that probably should have been thrown away in the first place.

Well done. Congrats! How did you do the horn? obviously the whole horn/chopper assembly was the hardest part

I want one!

Awesome, Ramfett has made a HO scale P-50, but I don't think anybody has ever attempted a HO scale T-bolt.

As an HO scale model railroader myself, I have to say that your Thunderbolt looks great!

Well done! Now if you could paint the logo on the box it'd be complete.

I tried with a thin dowel, some posterboard, glue, and tape, it didn't really work. Nice work on that TBolt!!! :D 8)
There is a thunderbolt siren in my head, it is always going off...

My P-50 on my less-than-completed N-scale layout (Would love to do HO, but lack the space). That thunderbolt is pretty impressive. I had kicked around the idea of making an N-scale T-Bolt for the other side of my layout, but all those tiny details killed it. That's the main reason I'd love to do HO, because the possibility for including details gets multiplied the higher you go in scale.

I made an Alletor out of legos. I'll get a picture up later today/tonight. I also have on my O-gauge layout a Hurricane MKII look-a-like.(I didn't make it, it came with an Lionel missle laucher set.)

I'm curious to see what it'd look like.

I made some Lego sirens awhile back:
