STEAMPUNK OR RETRO-FUTURE?: WHO CARES, THIS SCI-FI TRAIN RACE MIGHT CONJURE UP SOME IDEAS FOR AN OFF-THE-RAILS KITBASH

Here's a fun few minutes from Russian CGI outfit, Digital Light Studio. We'd like to see versions of these locomotives running on scale tracks, modded from Hornby or Bachmann originals.

As Digital Light Studio puts it: "Only the best of the best race steam trains have reached the final. Red Arrow accept a challenge of Iron Shark. Black villain is ready to do everything just to get to the finish line first. But his opponent is brave and courageous.

"Steam up your engines, gentlemen!"
