While working on a project in the run up to @emf this year I dropped a spanner and it fell through a gap in my workshop floor. I'm building a homage to Thunderbird 4 and sending it on a rescue mission.

The donor vehicle is a Nikko VolociTrax, you can find them for £20 if you shop around. This is one of two I bought for prototyping in 2019.

Itll also be the basis for my e try for the A4 class

The rear two mounts fit a treat, after that I messed up. Really need to get better of measuring things like this! The tracks have an idler in the middle so need to angle the bed down at the front. Height is 14cm, 17cm is the max to get under the containers so all good!
