  Wow, great coupler design! I like the engine, but I find the studs on the SNOT
slopes to be a bit distracting. Did you try stepped tiles?
  Overall, I think the engine looks very cool. I really like the nose. In
addition to being an incredible engineering accomplishment, it is very
intimidating. The vents and catenaries on the top look very good too.


Thanks for sharing,

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
