Make a wish ambulance train.

About 3 weeks ago we had the idea to create a "make a wish" style train to supplement our Dutch "make a wish" style ambulance.
The Garden Rail is closed for the saison , so time for a viuw other items .

We plan to use the train to promote awareness for ALS and various types of cancer.
The entire train will be painted yellow and blue and decorated to match our ambulance vehicle.
The train will contain one German "make a wish" type car sponsored by the ASB Ruhr ambulance service.
ASB Ruhr will use the train for promotional events as needed. The train consist is as follows:

1 x locomotive
1 x passenger car
2 x container cars
4 x flat cars
1 x US caboose with blue flashing lights

The locomotive has been painted and has blue flashing lights as well as an ESU decoder with ambulance sounds triggered by the function keys.
The passenger car will be painted yellow and blue like the locomotive.
One half of the car will have passenger seating and the other half will be equipped with beds and care facilities.
The container cars will be decorated with various "make a wish" style decals.
The flat cars will carry ambulances with "make a wish" style markings, 3 Dutch and one German.

The complete train wil be about 5 + lmeters ong , 1 Loco 10 wagons , so in the naer future i hope to get a second loco , so i can split in 2 sepeate treins .
But the whole idea is to suport the Dutch/German wish ambulance en othe things like ALS , Cancer Batten and others .

What is the make a wish ambulance .
I am a volenteer at the wish ammulance in Enschede , we do have 4 ambulances , with we use to verfill the last wishes , that could be to see the beach ,or to be at the wedding in the family .
Or to see for the last time Disney land , paris ore to go to spain , with our ambualnces we arange that , no costs , the patient wich is will .

Here a link to my open google acount , i wil do my best from now on opload pichtures , the goal is to get the train functional bevor 2017 :)

Wow, that's quite a light show on top of the caboose, Willy - when that's being run outdoors it will be visible from orbit...... ;)

Sombody wracked a lightbar , so i thought , why not use it fuer a little fun , used at the end of the train , also fun for children .
The decoder ESU v3.5 is programmed with taurus sound and some original sound where pulled out en replaced by sirens , 2 tone and 3 tone ambulance , and some firetruck sounds.
This i wil show later on.
The 4 ambulances also wil be activited by a Decoder , so wehn its finnished , its wil be a spectacular licht and sound show .

15873587_575050962694436_7875334454201658606_n.jpg The first car will be fitted with a Uhlenbrock intellisound 3 decoder , with the original Sirens , normal sound and quick emergency at crosings ect .
 
A koppel of months ago I started to build a train to support charity,s like helping with collecting money , and to help and support handicapt and sick people , young and old .

Wish ambulance was a to heavy item, mostly a wish ambulance is the last wish for terminal patients .
The best of it the use of the train it's free , no charges , just a cup of coffee and sandwich will do just fine :)
Collected Or donated money needs to go to a charity.

Also G scale colleague,s can pick up the train to use it for a charity .

So I decided to make it more fun, people need to have a smile on there faces ,to forget worries ore even pain for a moment .

A had already a small 3 day tryout , so much happy faces , till yesterday I made a view modifications , and Saturday and Sunday the real first great tryout , and what better place is the premiere of the new minions movie in a huge cinema :)

1 Taurus minion edetion :)
13 rail cars
71 minions

The train :


The latest 3 railcars with hydrocraphics ,probebley the first g scale train with hydrographics.


I,m not sure if Facebook wil translate the Facebook Paige .

Very well done! I think it will raise awareness for your cause - plus great entertainment for the children.
