A model of a new engine room. The engine towers were built just before Christmas of 1978 using mainly Airfix Space Shuttle kits and EMA tubing for the larger parts. The modelling team went to town with it. Many Aircraft Space Shuttle kits were used that Phlip Rae thought that it was likely that no children had any Space Shuttle kits for Christmas.
- Martin Bower: " It also meant we needed to build a new engine room, hence the use of all those Airfix Shuttle parts! But the odd bits we didn't use did not get wasted either. We kept seeing this strangely familiar face peering round the workshop door. Terry Gilliam was his name and he needed a few bits for a space sequence he was doing next door for a film called Life of Brian.

- Philip Rae: The towers were built just before xmas 1978, mainly using Airfix Space Shuttle kits and EMA tubing for the larger parts. As with the other stuff we went to town on it. (Philip Rae/Deraenged at www.eagletransporter.com/)
- Philip Rae: Put it this way....no kiddies got an Airfix space Shuttle that Xmas!
