This is an excellent likeness of this train. I have to wait for these about once a month (usually on the southbound run from Portland), and aside from the admittedly non-standard colours, this looks fabu! (Though I am not a trainhead, I *do* (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Even though a red, white, and black color scheme is incorrect for the Amtrak Cascades line in the Pacific Northwest, I have continued to develop this passenger trainset in the afore mentioned colors. To this end, a "gull-wing" type of Talgo end-unit (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
