As of now, I guess I'd advise you, Frank, to remove me from you index list. I've still got most, if not all, the images of the models you refer to below; but, I'm not sure I have the patience to upload all of them. I will more likely be rather lazy (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hi James, I am not italian, but also from a country with nice trains running through it. The ETR500 looks good. The nose might deliver some ideas for my "still-in-mind" ICE-3 nose! but it's a shame that you turned to LEGO CAD! I rather prefer "real" (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
