Simply superb!  This is exactly the kind of set LEGO should be producing.  It's
so recognizable.  Excellent work James.  I'm humbled.

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:
http://www.ee.nmt.edu/~jmathis/legopage.html

Thanks for looking.
later,
James Mathis

Master Builder James does it again...

I just spent a little time poring over this, and showing it to some of
my NL cow orkers, who are all pretty impressed. Now, I can't go so far
to say that I'm humbled (1) but I'm certainly impressed and in awe, as
usual.

1 - :-) Me?? Humble? Surely you jest.

You mean "Cowtown" as in Fort Worth, TX or somewhere else?  Hey, Ft Worth is
close to Ork lahoma, isn't it?
