BTTF III

DeLorean on rails.

Those wheels are great.

The underside is pretty good.

The top is very nice, with the tubes on the front hood.

Standard DeLorean in blue and Back to the Future III in silver.

First car and #3 car side by side.

Hot Wheels covers this pretty well, I think.

On the rails.  Does not fit HO track exactly.

But close enough.

Marty and Doc inspect the car.

Good car.
 

Back to the Future III

The time machine.

From the movie Back to the Future III.

As the movie series progressed they changed up the car a little.

In this version they went back to the Old West.

And the car rode on train tracks.

So it had train wheels.

Pretty cool.

Other parts were changed too and with the old tech at the time some parts were large!

This is a very well done model.
 

Incident at the Bike Shop

A car pulls up in front of a bicycle shop.

Does not look like they have a bike rack.

Someone enters the bike shop.

Loud voices from inside.

Is that gunshots?

A panicked 911 call brings an ambulance.

The medics exit the ambulance.

More ambulances and police arrive.

The bomb squad shows up also.

More police and fire apparatus show up.

Even a small incident can require a lot of people and a number of vehicles will respond.

Ambulances

Large box ambulances are very common in the US over the last 30 years.

Matchbox makes a bunch of different ones.

This is one of my recent acquisitions. 

These are often mobile emergency rooms with multiple medical people and only one patient. 

So these are often big trucks on a heavy chassis.

Large box for all the work to get done.

Reasonable detail on the underside.

A large incident can cause the deployment of dozens or even more than 100 of these to a single location.

The back needs a little work to touch up the red, clear, and amber lights lenses.

More than one of these vehicles is available with several colors and graphics.

I tend to buy all the single ambulances that I find.

Back ends need more painting from when they come out of the box.
