That is a superb creation that captures the original very well. You must
build a real one.
I remember once we were train-spotting (oops, that slipped out) on a summers
afternoon on the WCML north of Nuneaton. While lounging around we were
caught by surprise as a super-fast and super-quiet APT on trials. Needless
to say we were awe-struck and jumping for joy. Great train. A friend of mine
at work was one of the privileged few who was a fare-paying passenger on one
of its few revenue-earning trips.
The misconception is that it was a huge failure - almost all of the
technology with the exception of the tilt went into the IC225 and Class 91
loco, I am led to believe.
