Model Railroading in case you didn't know is a more adult oriented hobby which involves Electric "Toy" Trains as many might say...
Usually Model Railroaders build scale layouts for their trains which feature scenery & towns... and quite often with other types of transportation such as Airplanes and Automobiles...
There are also several different size scales as well...
N scale is a small one at 1:160
O scale is a larger one at 1:48
But a very common and popular one is "H. O." or just HO. It's a nice in between scale at 1:87.
Some Model Railroaders are also Transformers (Toy) fans...
And one character that is probably quite popular with Model Railroaders is probably AstroTrain...
AstroTrain was a Decepticon Triple Changer, that Transformed from a Robot, to a Space Shuttle, and Then into a Steam Locomotive...
Well, long story short... (Yeah, Too Late. LOL!)
This YouTuber is a Model Railroader & and a Transformers Fan... and decided that he wanted a real working AstroTrain (in Steam Locomotive Mode) for his HO scale layout...
And so he built one - And included a proper a Coal Tender to go with it. (Which G1 AstroTrain did not have, but should have, since real steam Locomotives have to have one in order to function.)
Check out his AstroTrain creation here:
And AstroTrain in action here:
Sadly he doesn't have a scenic layout here to show off his newest creation...
But...
Did you see the custom made HO scale Stunticons & Autobots waiting at the crossing for AstroTrain to pass so they could engage in a battle with each other?
