I finished reworking my Bullet Train based on the airliner in time for the NMRA
Train Show. Among the improvements where articulated cars and lowering the
entire train by two bricks.
The articulation is achieved using a pair of
2605c01 to connect the
trucks.

Matthew,
This version looks real good. How well does it run? Is extra clearence needed
around curves? Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t had a problem with the curves, but I have an eight wide setup. It ran
without any trouble during the train show. I did allow a little extra area
around the outside of the curves, but I don’t think it needed much more than
most trains. I haven’t run it on a standard curve, but I think it could cause
some problem with the long nose.
I’ll add some overhead shots later tonight with a standard curve and an eight
wide curve.
