Calling All Dr. Who Fans

Exterminate! Does that mean the train is leaving the terminal? They look neat.

I know there's a O scale TARDIS kit out there, as well:

This would have been cool when I was in Boy Scouts, the TARDIS patrol!

I know some other Forums were there is a Tardis following.  They call themselves the TARDIS TRAIN CREW.  They are a fun group.

I found my Tardis and a bunch of other stuff at a comic store in the Seattle underground

I've got a troop of these that'll be on my layout.  They fit in the RMT stock cars perfectly.

I'll also get the new LEGO Dr. Who set just to place the Tardis and the Dr. on the layout.

The cars will all be LEGO too.  So basiclly, I'm combining my love of LEGOs and Lionel.

I have a lovely paper TARDIS of my own design, alongside a Lego 8. Wish I had Capaldi or Pertwee for the Doctor, but I don't.

There are also these ornaments, and I'm trying to figure out if they'll work in an O Gauge setting.  I will be getting them for Christmas anyway, but it would be great having them placed here and there on the layout!

For my Jewish friends - just got one of these for Sunday!

Not that I'm - ahem - dating myself, but I remember William Hartnell in B&W battling those cheesy 4-legged ant critters. When you put it on your layout, don't forget to hang the 'out of order' sign, so that your Tardis isn't mistaken for a real police box.  Check around 2:58 in the video.

Now, if I could only figure out where in space/time my @@#$%^ Lionel CW80 is actually supposed to work....

I've been a Dr Who for as long as I've been the massive geek I am today. Like many other older fans, it was PBS re-runs that did it for me, all running a long time after they're originally aired. Beats me why PBS couldn't get them less than a decade after the BBC had run them. That's why I'll always be a big 4th and 5th Doctor fan (in that order).

When I was a teen, at the peak of my geekiness, my dad made me a sonic screwdriver from plans in a badly-written tech manual for fans (that lacked scale, so we guessed from watching Tom Baker carry one, and turns out it is a little smaller than the actual props but still looks good). I still have it of course. It's made out of stainless steel so it's crazy heavy. It should cause archeologists a lot of fits 1000 years from now, wondering what it was for:

How tall is this TARDIS ornament?

Daleks and a Tardis keep appearing on our layout...  Then there's this...

FUNNY DOUG!!!!!LOL!!!

I am in the same group as you, starting to watch the Doctor via PBS running of the episodes!  That was from my mom actually suggesting I watch it since it was good Science Fiction to her!

Since she was a fan of Peter Davison from "All Creatures Great And Small", I would later make her jealous when I met him and the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) at a convention in the early 1990's!

Beautiful work on the sonic!  I think I know what plans you're talking about, too!  I had some of those as well as ones for the landing party equipment for the original Star Trek!

I made the mistake of asking a friend a couple weeks ago at lunch about the Dr. WHO button he was wearing.  He showed me his belt buckle, his pin, his 50 year pin, and his custom designed Dr. WHO credit card.  After we thought they might close the restaurant because we were there so long, we finally were able to change the subject.  His wife rolled her eyes so much I thought she might hurt them.

Dang, I thought this post was going to have a Dr. Who boxcar or something of that nature.  My wife and kids love that show.  

I wonder if anyone has tried modifying the airplane pylon Lionel made a few years back with a TARDIS?

I've been watching Dr. Who religiously since the mid 70's when Tom Baker starred as the Time Lord.  Great stuff!

Norm

I started watching over the summer. Skipped whoever nine was (Christopher Eccelson?) and watched Tennent, Smith and Capaldi before circling around to Pertwee and Baker.  Pertwee and Capaldi are among the best of the Doctors I have seen sofar.

I made Peter Davidson at a small one-time-only Dr Who event in Florida in the early 80s, probably about 85 if memory serves. He was a decent guy.

I've never met Tom Baker but so wish I could someday.

Like people split between old/new Star Wars or Trek, I like the old-school Dr Who better.
