Bunker Talk: 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.

Mike Bunkermeister Creek said...: It is just a little smaller than HO 1/87 scale which is what I was using. It would likely be easier to just move wheels a little bit. Very good idea! Thanks for reading.; February 8, 2026 at 11:39 PM
