I'm sure you will find a good-looking solution.

Looks like a very good start. I like the look of the curving roof bricks.
Whoah! Look at all the special thin-wall windows in the combination
trans-light blue framed in white. I look forward to seeing more of Markus' ICE!
I have really enjoyed browsing the train gallery at 1000steine for ICE sets.
Many great looking sets: Close-coupled, nice rounded door windows,
excellent designs.

I wish I had some video of the APT tilt train in-action. It is interesting
to watch it tilt through curvy-curves. I should subtly point out that since
I announced the working version a few months ago, I have resigned to elevate
the car bodies from the bogies by an approximate one-plate air gap to reduce
the rolling resistance. The APT is an 8 car set, and the combined
lift-and-tilt action due to the rotation of the bogies simply incured too
much rolling resistance.
