Hi Folks,
I have just uploaded some pictures of my latest train creation: A german BR 101
electric engine pulling 5 Talgo hotel-on-wheels cars.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4891
See the real engine at:

Nett
And the cars at: http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/pix/de/car/night/pix.html
The advert says: "Nice here. But have you ever been to Baden-Württemberg."
Baden-Württemberg is in the south of Germany, next to Bavaria - a really nice
place to go!
The challenge on that model was the 1-axle-shared-truck between the Talgo cars.
You mihgt know the problems coming up while just using one steerable axle on
track? But i solved the problem and now it runs through points and curves
without any trouble. The "spring-brick" really helps to make the cars steerable
AND being coupled very close together.
Have fun with the pictures!
Greetings
Holger

| Outstanding, Holger. I am a big fan of German trains and your creation looks great. I rarely see any German LEGO trains so it's great to see your creation. I sure wish someone would build an ICE train or a Thalys. Ashley Glennon (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
