Rainbow Model - Updated

[HussRainbow]

Well as the recent appearance of Sydney's Easter show last week, Rainbow had some new changes since 2004s show. The hub now has purple on the sides, and a new sign was added to the control booth. Also the ropelights were removed from the rays, and painted, now only featuring one red ropelight on each ray. The model has now been updated and stands with the original huss model. Original: Model: feel free to leave comments chris

do these models your building have actuall lights on them? if not can it be done?

[HussRainbow]

it can be done, but faller doesnt make them

[MARK28]

That's crazy!!! Do you get some sort of kit for that?

[HussRainbow]

yeah Mark, they do come in kits, from Faller, amazing models, all motorised and all capable of being lit, like in these photos chris

[denim_dude]

WOW! those models are just amazing! Where do you get these kits from? i would love to have a model of the rainbow or maybe the ranger in my room. You have really done an amazing job with them. perfect down to the very last detail!

[HussRainbow]

all my models are from FALLER in germany, I buy them online.... unfortunetly there is no HUSS RANGER available, but Faller do have a working prototype, so we could see a release in the future, fingers crossed. chris

[dr_teeth]

You mean online as in ebay or do faller have an online shop? :confused:

[HussRainbow]

no, I buy them from a shop in germany, where you can purchase them online too...

[dr_teeth]

got an address....cos the actual faller site insnt in english, which is no good for me as i dont speaker the german

[HussRainbow]

I don't either, but I find my way round the site, it doesnt have a full listing of rides, just the new rides for 2005, which are to be released late this year, ill be purchasing all 3 Circus World Octopussy Wilde Maus 20th Anniversary Edition heres the link for the carnival ride page, from the site I buy my rides from. http://www.modellbahn-kramm.com/D/nummern.cfm?nid=329

So, who wants to translate all that?

[HussRainbow]

let the site do it, if you go to the home page, you can put it in english

[dr_teeth]

Bugger knew i shouldnt have asked that question. I can feel my bank account being attacked badly over the next few months now

[HussRainbow]

LOL, well Faller is of such a high standard, they arent cheap.... don't think they are a rip off, cos they aren't ive seen other models, not from faller that are even more expensive

[dr_teeth]

yeah i knew they were expensive from what ive see on ebay. Its not the cost that is the issue for me but rather which ones NOT to buy lol.. BTW funky looking set up you have there hussy

[HussRainbow]

I don't really find it hard to choose which ones I want..... but I wish the prototype of Ranger would get developed and released. chris p.s when HUSS change their name to HUSSY MASCHINENFABRIK ill let you know :cool:

[dr_teeth]

Hey hussy have you seen the new wave swinger on that site? Man that thing is pretty realisitic hey.

[HussRainbow]
