The idea for the dome car uses non-existant-to-us trans-dark-gray 4x6 dual
45 degree slope roof elements. :-( So, no real-brick build unless 2x4 45
degree slopes are substituted. I wonder how rare 2x4 45 degree trans-clear
slopes are?

Don't know. But, for me the most important aspect of seeing the 4511 set
preliminary picture was that it was inspiring to me. The prelim pic of 4511
showed just enough teasing detail, yet hid specifics, so that I was curious
enough to try to expand upon my imagination of what the 4511 might be like.
The 4511 shows an age 7+, so maybe the front nose is a new element. ??
I'm very pleased to see new train items continue to come out. Even if the
4511 ICE-ish set is not to everyone's liking, I think it can be a great
starting point for original designs or even modified to alternate
constructions. No matter, it's LBB*-- build it per instructions, rebuild it
as you wish, and redesign it as you change your mind.
later,

LEGO(R) building elements?
