   Hi all,

Ran across some photos of this train (1, 2, 3, 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 happened.

Like my NY Subway train, this one is designed to be easily adjusted to using the IR battery train system as well as the standard 9V system. It uses the close coupling technique of Jason Allemann and his door design too I think.

Please let me know what you think.

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 cars. Are you using the spring bricks or another method? Also I think the door design might be a bit big for this model. Overall cool design and the colors are great. Also do you have plans to make this built in the brick?
