The more that I look at the box art for the new passenger train
(http://www.iltco.org/sneakpeek/boxart/?image=1), the more that I dislike
the engine. Maybe it is the bird beak front, or the canopy windscreen (does
it come with an ejection seat?) I just noticed that the sides are only four
bricks high - no train door added to those cars.
Any way, since we don't have a lot of electrified track here in the US, I
have built a fast looking diesel locomotive -
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=371668 (sorry for the poor
quality image) to go with the new cars. Yes, that is the front canopy from
a Jack Stone jet - see http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4620
I will try to get better images posted - I think it looks pretty good. And
I think this would have been a better design direction for the new passenger
train.
