The Wild Wild West: The Wanderer (LEGO Ideas)


Recommended Posts

Granted, most folks on BZP are probably too young to remember when it first aired in the mid-to-late 1960's (and technically I am, too, but that's the magic of DVD releases), but The Wild Wild West still has the advantages of nostalgia value, a considerable fanbase, the best theme song ever, and an atmosphere of lighthearted drama that already feels a lot like a LEGO theme. Plus there's always a market for trains!

 

The actual project is here

 

For those requiring further information, I refer you to the Wikipedia page.

This is really cool and I love trains. Have a once working set stashed away in my closet. Can't really say I have ever watched the show but I offered up my Support. I guess I am your 30th supporter. Not much but maybe you'll get some momentum. The Engine looks really detailed and I am also loving the ink stamp comic strip feel if the image. Hope they use it for the package as it would be a nice homage...

Man, I kind of lost track of this topic...lots of irons in the fire, I guess.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear the project has some appeal outside fans of the original show. 

 

Oh, and one last thing--for awhile now, it's been bugging me that the original Wanderer engine had eight wheels, while mine has ten. The other day, I decided to do something about that...

Not a bad update and the Engine looks even better as a result. I was wondering why your signature picture had 6 large wheels as I didn't know if it was a style choice or the Train actually had that many. Clearly from your edit it did not.
