I am glad you took some nice pictures of the O train. I saw it from the show pics and wanted to see more. And for not being a train guy you did an excilent job. Maybe deep down your are a train guy. ;)

Cool, thanks. Lol, maybe, who knows. I have bought my fair share of LEGO train sets. :)

   I also had a problem with tring to solve close cupling. At first I had used 2x2 round bricks with a technic ball hitch inside the train. The problem was I had to tear cars apart just put it on the track. (the roofs of my train didnt come off very easily) As I progressed in my designs I realised that if I stacked used Three 2x4 technic plats ontop of the train. I could use the technic ball hitch and a rubber band and be set.

And if that explination didnt explain then this picture should help.

That is a picture of my TGV train. It is probably the longest articulated LEGO train around. It currently is 10ft long and only uses two motors.

Yeah, that’s pretty cool. Nice and simple and easy to use. I also saw pics of it in Steve’s “Advanced Train Building” presentation after Didier posted the link to it.

   Well keep up the great work and hope to see some more trains.

Thanks again,
