HO Scale Thunderbolt 1003 Modification & Assembly Process

All footage originally recorded in February 2021. I intended to make this video shortly after my review of the model, however, time would say otherwise. Now after almost a year of 0 siren content, it's time to get back into what got this channel where it is now.
Airplane content will still be coming, but I'll do my best to get more siren content to you guys. I have a few models ready to be ordered and plans to build them and show them off. Full plans can be seen on my community page.
Thanks for watching, happy new year!

Long time no see, I've come to check out your content again. nice, I've also just saw my 1st thunderbolt go off a week ago!

[@OutdoorWarningSirenStudios2]

I really wish they made more sirens like ACA sirens (mostly wishing for a ACA banshee 155-c and Alertronic Al-4000

[@Am_ati14]

they should add EOWS 6789 it's based on siren head

This is very cool, hope you dont lose it. Im subscibing :)

[@rpgiv3175]

It's still in my collection and still in the same condition it was when I finished working on it. Thank you!

[@montanasirentrainproductio9912]

I was wondering how you did it, tbh thank you for uploading this cuz I'd like to make custom HO scale 1003s for a train layout here soon. Also I love the music you used, it gives off 80s vibes in a way

[@rpgiv3175]

Glad I could help! Good luck on your project when you do it! I think you can pull it off pretty easily with your skills. The music I used is the same type I listen to while building. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWfLimqad5pnmMU

@@rpgiv3175 I hope I can, it'll be a lot work and long process but it'll look awesome ik that for sure. Also thanks, tho I've taken a break from modeling recently, tho I plan to get back into it. I think I rlly lost my patience with the fire department I was putting together. Dang thing didn't have step by step instructions so it got confusing which lead to me getting mad and quiting for a while.

I remember when I asked for a thunderbolt model on a firehouse building if I remember correctly.. unfortunately I was told that I couldn't get it because of the thing that happened to where he couldn't give custom models anymore, but that was fine

[@EASsirenVids01]

Nice! I just finished modeling a 1/87 P-50, but I need to get a 3D printer before I can print/sell them. I would cast them but I have no idea how to.

[@rpgiv3175]

Apologies for the late response but I'd be interested in buying one if you get it to work!

[@EASsirenVids01]

@@rpgiv3175 Awesome! I’m saving for a 3D printer right now!

@@rpgiv3175 so, my birthday present ended up being broken, so we returned it, so now I got a 3D printer! I’ll be doing a test print tonight, and getting them sold asap. I’ll also be modeling the type they have in Morrison, IL.

Ggggge 🎉❤😊😅 Just wanted a few of those moments in life when I’m feeling better but not as much anymore so I’ll try again next year hopefully I’ll see how things work and if it’s just the right one I’ll definitely look for it

[@codygeorge6813]

can u make the siren with out the solenoids or do u have to put them on? just curious because i'm thinking about purchasing some one day

[@rpgiv3175]

They are sold without the solenoids by default, I created the solenoids on my own to make a 1003

Will spray paint work?

[@rpgiv3175]

Yes but I don't recommend using spray paint. Try hand painting with a paintbrush or using an airbrush

[@SkepticalGames14]

@@rpgiv3175 why not? Just curious, want to make them as good as yours

[@rpgiv3175]

@@SkepticalGames14 spray paint tends to coat the model very quickly and it may fill up small details with excess paint. You can give it a try but it usually doesn't work well with smaller models. All I can advise is if you do choose to use spray paint is to be patient, use multiple light coats instead of one heavy coat

[@SkepticalGames14]

@@rpgiv3175 alright thanks

[@traintraveler5413]

im not sure how my comment was deleted, I think it was a YT error, but I might try to do solenoid wires in one way or another (then again the weather head on this model can’t rotate)

[@rpgiv3175]

If you do figure that out I'd definitely be intrigued. I think the comment deleted since I made the video private for a short time due to an issue I needed to fix in the video

[@traintraveler5413]

@@rpgiv3175 makes sense, I was doing homework while that happened so I must have not noticed it.
