I've always been a fan of the 2010 movie unstoppable after seeing it at the cinema shortly after it's release date. Models of the two lead locomotives is something I've been on the lookout for and recently I found some on eBay. (AWVR 777 & AWVR 767) After winning the auction I was excited to see how these things measured up to their movie counter parts as well as how they would look and run on my layout.

You are correct the locos in unstoppable are CP locos. And they are actually still in service! There was 2 of each made stunt doubles I’d bet. And something that bugged me is 777 didn’t have its iconic black and yellow plow but I love you added them! excellent haul too!

I'm one of the few people who wasn't too impressed with the movie, but the engines look great with the addition of new plows on the locos. If you get a chance, there are some detail parts on the trucks (such as the brake cylinders) and the air tanks off of the fuel tanks which are missing (know from having the models) to complete the models. Also, I liked how the seller protected the handrails of the locos during shipment. It's nice to see that they were not all bent up from shipping.

They need people to want to watch the movie. Pearl Harbor was ripped apart by history and aviation experts for a new level of inaccuracy and yet that movie was a big box office success. The average cinema joe want to see those action scenes - it's why the Marvel movies make billions in profit.

@Santaanacanyon Жыл бұрын

You got it right on every point. The TRUE story, which was well reported at the time, was relatively boring compared to the film. However, a town WAS in danger of being ground zero of an enormous environmental catastrophe IF the train had not been stopped.

@@SMTMainline Here's a paint protip should you feel inclined to re-do the stripes: Before painting the yellow, spray the plows with black first.This will seal the masking tape's edges and prevent the lighter color from getting under the edge, making for a sharp color separation. (Also, check out Diecast Resurrection's channel. While focused on Hot Wheels restorations/customs, his painting process (especially in the earlier videos) is covered in detail well enough to be instructional and inspirational (and he's also Canadian, so that's got to count for something, eh? 😁 )

You say the unstoppable movie is unrealistic. But it might surprise you that unstoppable is based on the crazy 8’s incident. The incident involved a CSX SD40 numbered 8888. The train ran away after the driver tried to activate the dynamic brakes, jumped off the loco threw the switch and failed to climb back on. Most things that happened in the movie were inspired by the incident including trying to shoot the safety shut off switch, using derailers to derail the train, and having another engine couple up and hold it back. It’s a very interesting story.
