Hi Folks,

I have just uploaded some pictures of my latest train creation: A german BR 101
electric engine pulling 5 Talgo hotel-on-wheels cars.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4891

See the real engine at:

Nett

And the cars at: http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/pix/de/car/night/pix.html

The advert says: "Nice here. But have you ever been to Baden-Württemberg."
Baden-Württemberg is in the south of Germany, next to Bavaria - a really nice
place to go!

The challenge on that model was the 1-axle-shared-truck between the Talgo cars.
You mihgt know the problems coming up while just using one steerable axle on
track? But i solved the problem and now it runs through points and curves
without any trouble. The "spring-brick" really helps to make the cars steerable
AND being coupled very close together.

Have fun with the pictures!

Greetings
Holger

(...) angled sides of that locomotive. I like the way the Technic spring bricks are loose in the coupler to the wagon. Looks like an easy set up for the wagons on the track. Very nice train set. later, James Mathis (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Outstanding, Holger. I am a big fan of German trains and your creation looks great. I rarely see any German LEGO trains so it's great to see your creation. I sure wish someone would build an ICE train or a Thalys. Ashley Glennon (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
