I've been wanting to build something along these lines since the late 70's.
Perhaps I should have just grown up instead.

O sweet. It brings a nostalgic teer to my eye even though I've never seen it before. You just know it needs a rocket launcher a la (URL) for research purposes of course. Allister (...) Perish the thought! (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
  Re: Can't we all just get along?
 
(...) Naaaa... that would mean we would not have seen this neato keeno thing! It needs more cars, but.... spotlighted! Thanks for sharing. (hopefully done giggling now) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

Oh cool! Neat airlock doors. Not complex, but they look very nice. The trans-yellow roof is nifty. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

(...) Now this I like. And I thought I was the only one to combine Space and Trains (I got photos of an Ice Planet train waiting to be scanned in) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
  Re: Can't we all just get along?
 
(...) Tony, That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. You captured the spirit of CS so very well. Nice launcher/flat bed. Excellent engine... boy ain't that blue, grey, and trans yellow so nice together. I laughed outloud at the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
  Re: Can't we all just get along?
 
That is very cool. Like Allister said, even though I wasn't around to get any, this still brings back nostalgic feelings. (what of? My explorian sets? :) ) But anyway, I really like the way you 'space-a-fied' that train engine. The high speed train (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
  Re: Can't we all just get along?
 
(...) I think not. This is a great train! I love the simplicity and small details of the cars, like the launcher and consloe and the airlock doors on the engine. Good job! Joe Meno (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

(...) That's the best combination since Reese's combined chocolate & peanut butter. The train totally successfully shows the classic space theme elements. Great job! Jeff (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

DISCLAIMER: Tony, I do not usually comment on people's MOCs, because 1) I have little time on the Internet, 2) Everybody's MOCs are so DAMNED impressive and 3) My fingers would become arthritic and enfeebled from posting a message telling each (...)

I've been wanting to see this since you wrote you had bought some trains, I can't seem to find the message right now, it was something like (regarding space trains): I hope you are ready beacuse they are comming!

Tony, this is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's inspiring me to go forward with my own scifi train ideas. Build on! Mark (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

(...) Any chance of you posting a 100% sized, hi-res image of that brick printed with the astronaut holding an open-box wrench? Actually, you don't have to post it, you could email it to me. Pretty please...?! -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

Heh, the best of both worlds. That's pretty darn cool, Tony. Dan (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

You sir, are quite mad. And brilliant. Thats is sooooo cool. And it's so easy it's like "Duh" I anticipate the creation of more trains like this. Blacktron train, M-Tron train etc.. On another note, I now keep imagining a train that slowly goes back (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
