Long since starting as a design study, I have finally engaged my attempt to
build an ICE-like train set. This passenger train model takes after the
German DMU DB605:
http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/pix/de/diesel/dmu/605/pix.html
In real-life, I think it is a diesel unit that also tilts.
My version of the DB 605 using LEGO(R) bricks doesn't tilt, and it only
exists in LDraw/MLCAD/POV form.
My DB 605 set:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6996
It has mostly been a control cab design study based around the key (Life on
Mars(R)) windscreen element.
I *think* the windscreen wrap-around will work, but I should qualify this
CAD model by saying that I have not even tried to build it in real-brick
form...I don't own a Life On Mars set, nor do I have the special windscreen
element.
Thanks for taking the time to read and look.
Comments are certainly welcome, particularly if you might be interested to
try to build the cab/windscreen to see if it really works OK or not.
later,
James Mathis
PS: Oh, I do wish that S@H/Lego Direct(R) would offer the 1/4-curved bricks
in bulk.

| Hi James, yes, I remember your ICE 3 project. Looks very nice, but a real one would be much better :-) I also have non of these new screen pieces, so I can't tell you if it works? It won't be a good windscreen for an 8-wide ICE 3? Check out Markus' (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
