Thanks for the great feedback so far. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! I had
fun making them with all the different camera angles -- there were quite a few
incidents involving the train colliding with the camera as well, so perhaps I
should post a video of “out-takes” too. ;-)
The interior is partially finished with seats and luggage storage on the inside
of the roof, but there is still more to be done (the interior of the dining car
for example). My trains are in storage right now, but when I’m back and can get
them out again, I will certainly take some pictures!
Regarding the videos, there is no tilt function built into the train, but the
tilting appearance could come from the layout itself, as some of the track on
the curves is slightly banked -- sometimes I found this helpful, particularly
when the layout went over carpet. Given the size of these long curve layouts,
they are unfortunately only ever temporary, and even so one must have
understanding companions who don’t mind watching their step. :-)
Concerning the center front lamp, that is a great idea to use the fiber optic
cable! I don’t have any of those pieces, so this had not occurred to me --
perhaps I will try to find some.
Another idea might the new Power Functions LED lamps, as they are also smaller
than the light brick. Can one hook up the PF LED lamps to the electrical pickup
on a 9V train motor?
Cheers,
Eric

| Hi all, I've been lurking on these boards for years, but I thought it was high time I created an account. I would like to share with you my model of a Deutsche Bahn InterCityExpress (ICE 3 class 406) train set. (URL) Full credit goes to James Mathis (...)
