The Wanderer II

The Whole train, modeled in HO scale.

Clockwise, from the left hand upper corner:

the underside of the Horse/laboratory car. We see the rotating cannon from episode 9, and the brass chain and winch for the grappling hook it shoots. The big brass "Ship's wheel" is to rotate the cannon by hand from outside the car,you can grasp the spokes from the side. Also underneath is the massive industrial air compressor to power most of Artie's experiments as well as the pneumatic sliding panels and other devices.

The Wanderer herself. I've featured this locomotive separate in another deviation. The Model is a Mantua (Tyco) 4-4-0.

The Rear platform of the Observation. It's kinda a cross between the movie and the TV version, with the large drum head from the TV show, but with the Brass "W" from the movie. Also note the spring loaded hook that shoots out from underneath the coupling. Episode something....it was the one with the Elephant.

Finally, a look underneath the Observation car. We see Artie's "Vehicular Rail Aggressor" thing stored under the car. As well as a few of the tanks and the winch to lower/raise the Aggressor.
