Hey,
My latest creation is the new Danish IC4 intercity train. • --SNIP--
That’s all. Please let me know what you think!
See you,

Hi Esben,
Once again you have demonstrated your mastery of curved shapes. It is a
particularly difficult nose shape to represent in Lego (typical of Italian high
speed trains I think) but you have managed it very well. I particularly love
your mixing of curved slopes and inverse slopes which I first saw done by you in
the Qld Tilt Train (my favourite of yours). The close-coupling technique reminds
me of Jason Allemann’s O-train solution which is my personal favourite.
While I really like this train though, I can’t help but feel that using the same
techniques etc. you could actually have made a more succesful seven-wide train.
This is not just my width preference talking but it seems to me that the curved
nose would have better ratios at seven-wide (or even six) and would thus show
off your curves more succesfully.
Overall though, width aside, this is an excellent design of a very difficult
prototype. I’d love to see what you make of a
Virgin Pendolino.
