Has anyone thought about modelling Rainbow Sun from The Magic Railroad?
Oh well, I’mma give it a go!
This trainset is also very rare as far as I know. The steam locomotive (what looks like a Baldwin 2-8-0) is hard to come by. Still, I got this with the idea to swap out the bogies and chassis of the train to run on HO gauge track. Just didn’t know if I was ganna commit to it, but then I threw Magic Railroad into the mix, and now I’m more interested!-Michelle <3

The Magic Railroad, is that a tv show? Where is it broadcast?

@casey-jones Shining Time Station was the TV show, The Magic Railroad (Thomas and the Magic Railroad) is a film.
475 appears in the latter as Indian Valley Railroad’s no.475 ‘Rainbow Sun’. However I’m wondering whether the Rainbow Sun is a train service rather than the locomotive itself.

Thank you, I’ll have to see if it was broadcast in the U.S. If they were children’s shows, that would explain why I am not familiar with them.

@casey-jones Whilst Magic Railroad was a worldwide release, Shining Time Station was broadcast for the US. I believe the show was created because Thomas the Tank Engine back then ran for 5 mins per episode. So a sitcom was created to give Thomas a longer running time.
