I have added a passenger car to my orange TGV. The train set now has the two
engines and three passenger cars. Formerly, the train had two passenger cars.
This third passenger car is a double-deck car, which I don't believe any of
the orange TGVs ever had. So, this model does stray a bit. Seats for the
minifigs up top, and three in-line beds for the figs below.
I'm still using the rubber bands to pull the cars together, but I did
redesign the shared bogie coupler. There is picture of the bogie coupler, but a
photo of the inside tiled part at each end of the cars is difficult to get.
Sorry.
I have tried a little to use Eric's excellent two-spring-brick shared bogie
coupler, but I have found that I can't get the angle necessary between the
center lines of the two passenger cars. Granted, I am trying to keep the
vertical black stripe between the cars at 6 studs wide, and the passenger cars
are 32 studs long (33 studs long if you count the vertical black stripe). I've
also limited myself to having the shared bogie with two axles to be 6 studs
long, instead of 7. All the differences. Eric's design is very elegant, I
wish I could incorporate it...maybe later.

| (...) Very nice again. It doesn't stray too badly at all. Could this be the first Halloween train? The Pumpkin Express? :) I sure wish the 4559 Cargo Railway was built like this (as it could have been), alternate set models notwithstanding. If it (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)
