I am a big fan of all things TGV. (You may have seen my 10ft+ long TGV)
|
I have and it’s very impressive.
| |
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?
|
I’m using the technique David Allemann invented for his O-train
(see it here). It is by far
my favourite close-coupling technique and I have even built it in the brick
before (which is pretty rare for me).
| |
Also I
think the door design might be a bit big for this model.
|
Yes. Quite possibly. A three-wide door might have been better. I’m going through
a bit of a TLC+ design phase at the moment where I try to keep things like TLC
do but with a bit more detail so I wasn’t really checking the ratios.
| |
Overall cool design
and the colors are great. Also do you have plans to make this built in the
brick?
|
Thank you. No plans at the moment. It’s is designed to accept an IR motor
(something I’ve been trying to do with my latest models) so I might build one
when they come out but I’m afraid I don’t really have the space nor the bricks
to build a seven-unit vehicle so it is unlikely.
At some point I might make instructions for it so that if anyone else wants to
try they can (if anyone is interested please email me as I am more inclined to
bother if I know there is interest). Presently there are a few internal features
I didn’t build in order to speed up the rendering time so they would need to be
added in first.
