Reminded me of the visual blooper in the TV show where the pods all come out in a tight packed line then magically there's a huge gap when TB2 drops on one, but that's just the tip of the iceberg in the bloopers in the launch sequences of all the Thunderbirds
I always loved that theres an emergency, then they go and pick a module thats far away and have the slowest moving track, like they couldn't have it being loaded while they are getting their mission, this is great tho
They referenced 'the autoloader' in the episode 'Sunprobe'. I always figured that the pod was being loaded by autoloader while Virgil is getting the brief and boarding TB2 to start the preflight, and the pod selection was done while he was changing into his uniform.
Excellent build sir. That took a lot of planning and hard work. Looks like a lot of "old" Meccano pieces. The Meccano of today is no where near the quality is was many, many moons ago.
@carpenterscollector2910 only the Thunderbird 2 with one pod is available. The rest was built with parts that I already had and painted some to colour match. I don't think the sell ot anymore but search ebay.

not bloopers - sufficiently advanced technology
Quite easy to explain. As soon as the right pod is on location, the rest moves out of the way. There is a powerhouse on both ends of the line of pods.
I loved that. God bless Meccano, God bless the T-Birds, and God bless you Sir!
Love Meccano and love Thunderbirds! The remake series was a childhood favourite growing up and I am very nostalgic for it and Meccano
Now, that's 100 percent dedication to the THUNDERBIRDS, ❤
Accomplished engineering for such a young person - it's not perfect, but near as damn it - well done !

Mate... I started filling up watching this!!! 🙈😂👍🇬🇧
Awesome 🏆
Holy moly that looks amazing
This is a very impressive Meccano build. One teensy thing that caught my eye is that the pod numbering was backwards. Other than that, nice job!
Easy fixed. The pods simply lift off. It's been rebuilt a few times since that video was taken.
どんだけ好きなんだよ

@carpenterscollector2910 it's since been rebuilt again. The original is indeed a pain to build.
@carpenterscollector2910 That is an actual set you can buy?

@carpenterscollector2910 I do not know. Johnny Meccano is the one with the set.
Excellent work my friend...except you got the pod numbering back to front! 😝
That's F.A.B!
めちゃくちゃ凄い....最高です！
It's so awesome .... The best!

If you look real close you can just see the puppeteers hand. No strings visible though. Seriously, that's really cool.

That is Incredible a Macarno Thunderbird 2 have you ever done Thunderbird 1? That’s my fave 😁.
Kind Regards AuraKnight
I believe that the Thunderbird 2 model is an actual set. I have the same one. This version would appear to be a slight mod of that.
２号のプラモデルでも大きい奴（ちょうど動画のサイズくらい）はこのコンテナ（中身付きで4号やジェットモグラが入ってる）も付け外しが出来るようになってましたが、当時の技術では２号の脚は伸び縮みするようには出来なかったですね。
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Thunderbirds are go!
Nice

Hey, you actually got your Meccano creations to do stuff. You outrank me. ;)
Man, if i was only 12 again. Well, that's not going stop me. I know two more things, and, I'm better with my hands and, i got a pocket full of cash. 😂
Ohhh. No Meccano palm trees!
