just click on the pic at the bottom

This is my second revision of the train. I have modeled it after the
French TGV. Just a few nights ago I made a duplex car for it which is
pictured.

hope you enjoy it.

To Dave,

Nice train!  I really like the pantagraph.  It looks very good!

The train set as a whole is very good: dual power units, mail car, passenger
cars.  Good complete set.

The additional gray slopes on top of the black roof slopes complement the
train's look very well.

later,
James Mathis

I am very happy with the design of the train and the colors. I was some what
forced to have the red just because I never got a metro liner so I never got
any gray train plates. I did end up getting one gray train plate from another
PNLTC member but I still would end up needing 6 more. But I plan to make the
train 8 cars long maybe 10. I think any more then 8 cars and I will need to
add another motor. I want to make another duplex car just to even the look of
the train out. But I think I will use the duplex cars for another train and
just use the single level cars. Only time will tell and parts.

I glad you like it because I have worked hard on it and I will always be
making better as new parts come along.

Dave
