Excellent work, Eric. I really appreciate the documentation of concepts
explored, but not persued. Very nice to see the evolution toward the final
design. Thanks!
I love the front ends you've contoured for both the Thalys and the Dutch locos.
I look forward to seeing further pictures of the close-coupler and its
insertion between passenger cars in a complete Thalys.
With the brick-spring block located on the pivot axis for the bogie wheels, I
can see that there should be a large angle through which two passenger wagons
sharing the bogie wheels can subtend. And, this is aided by the 4-stud wide
panels of tiles on each passenger wagon that fit against one another. I am
curious to know what the maximum angle is.
Excellent close-coupler design. Again, I love the fact that it does not use
the yellow LEGO rubber bands. I am tempted to copy your design, for the yellow
bands do tend to stretch and not return to there original size. BUT, this has
not become a significant issue after several hours of run-time.
Beautiful work, Eric. Thanks for the sneak-preview.
later,
James Mathis
