| Hi all, Ran across some photos of this train ((URL) 1>, (URL) 2>, (URL) 3>, (URL) 4>) the other day and thought it rather neat: a Thalys TGV in different colours. The real thing was to run between Sydney and Canberra but cost too much so never (...) (18 years ago, 22-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

| (...) Stellar work, Tim. I don't have time to say much nor to comment on all your recent and impressive works, so my enthusiasm and admiration stated here is intended broadly. I've been lurking and enjoying your constant stream of new MOCs. later, (...) (18 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Hi James, Thanks very much for your compliments. I'm building on the excellent groundwork of other AFOLs such as yourself so that makes designing new things a lot easier. I hope that people can learn from my work as I have learnt from the work (...) (18 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) I am a big fan of all things TGV. (You may have seen my 10ft+ long TGV) This is a cool model and I see how you have been influenced by other designs. I know this is CAD work, but I would like to see how you have the articulation between the (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

It is by far my favourite close-coupling technique and I have even built it in the brick before (which is pretty rare (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Well the first reply got eaten by the dead harddrive so here is mark II. The close-coupling is Jason Allemann's (URL) O-train coupling technique>. That is my favourite close-coupling technique and if you see me using close-coupling, it will be (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Yes I have seen that train and the close-coupling, its a great MOC. I too started with using a rubber band CC inside my train. But after several times of taking apart my train just to place it on the track, I found a more simple solution. (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
