I've been working on my Thalys rendition, this weekend focussing on the
close couplings. I designed two versions, one for a shared bogie and one for
seperate, magnet connected bogies. It doesn't use any rubber bands; instead
it uses the LEGO schock absorber piece.
The same principle, but built differently, was used in my Green Crocodile
Locomotive.

I absolutely love the fact that you have designed a close coupler which does
not use rubber bands.  Excellent!

I took notice of the Green Crocodile's principle when I built the coupler for
my three-car monorail.

I still have to do some work on other parts of the Thalys, so you'll have to
wait for pics. Soon I'll be able to present the Hondekop train and a dutch
railway station as well.

I look forward to seeing the pics!

later,
James Mathis
