Since the Halloween buckets came out last year, I have wanted to build
something modeled in orange.
Several of us seem to be on the same page these days to model passenger trains,
specifically TGVs! :-) This is excellent.
I'm am enjoying seeing all the great work.
Orange...TGV...
I've put up on my web site my attempt to model the French SNCF TGV PSE in its
orange, black, and white colors.
It's only four cars long: two engine units and two simple passenger cars.
Each of the cars is coupled by means of LEGO yellow rubber bands, which allows
all four cars to be close-coupled.
The two passenger cars, at their union, share a common two axle bogie. The
bogie can pivot independently of either passenger car. This shared bogie also
free-floats between the two cars with in-line translation on tiled "tongues"
that fit into slots in both passenger cars.
Pictures are worth more than my feeble words. See this model of the TGV PSE in
orange at:

Thanks for looking.
later,
James Mathis

| Ummm, WOW! I am completly impressed. This has been my vavorite(sp?) train for a long time, and think it is great that lego finaly released orange pieces to allow us to construct this train. But alas, on a college students income, I am not able to (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Congrats. It looks so good it hurts. (Thinking of why TLG doesn't bring out such sets, even knowing the amount of bricks would mean splitting the train over several affordable sets). Eric (25 years ago, 7-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

| They named a train after my home town? Wow. Does "grande vitesse" imply anything in French other than "very fast"? If it doesn't, I think Grand Rapids should get a refund on The Calder.
