Well, when one is given a barrel ramp car without barrels, one simply has to make do...

That's cool. Fond memories of those animated Saturday morning characters.
That, #2, was MY Thunderbird!!!!!
When that show aired in the 1960's our kid world would come to a complete stop!
No matter what we were doing we'd stop and head for the nearest home to watch 'Thunderbirds'!
Each of us had picked a Thunderbird to 'be'...I was #2....so I always have a soft spot for it!
I really like what you have done. Where did you find the models at?
Thunderbird 3 was my favorite. I built a model of it to launch with a high powered rocket motor with my nephew. I enjoyed seeing the Thunderbird movie in 2004. Should have left the sound off.
WAIT A MINUTE! WHERE ARE THE STRINGS? I DON'T SEE ANY STRINGS IN YOUR PICTURES.
Nice additions to the ramp car.
Loved Thunderbird 2. Every week it was a mystery what was going to come out of the cargo container. 
Found the movie entertaining.

Yep! Interestingly enough, I first tuned into the show as a young lad thinking it had something to do with the USAF aerobatics team...

Hee! Yeah, TB2 was always my fave too. Played the heck out of my original Dinky TB2 and my sister's FAB1 pink Rolls-Royce...

Matchbox put these toys out in the late 90s; if you do a search on eBay for "Matchbox Thunderbirds," you can find sets of 'em!

No strings attached with my pics!
Wasn't horribly fond of the 2004 movie; I much prefer "Thunderbirds Are Go" and "Thunderbird Six". In fact, I got the idea to call the ramp car "Thunderbird O27" when a buddy suggested calling it "Thunderbird Seven"...

My fave TB2 pods were Thunderbird 4 and the Mole...
