Very pretty, I especially like the map for the background.

Maybe it’s me, but the Eurostar just doesn’t look right to me. Shouldn’t the roofline above the windshield slope down and right, instead of down and left? Look at the black slopes or the red line above the windshield to see what I’m talking about... All the other locomotives have their roofline sloping down and left, but that’s because we’re looking at their left sides. The Eurostart, we’re looking at its right side, so the roof should slope the other way.

The black roof above the cab of the Eurostar uses the dual-low-roof-slope 3x3, 3675.dat.

This is different from the other TGV designs. Perhaps this difference tricks your eyes?

And, perhaps it is not the best LEGO(R) element design choice for the Eurostar, but the Eurostar aero package is distinctively different than it’s Euro-continent-bound siblings.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you like the map. :-)

later,

James Mathis
