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.

Nope, that’s not it. I’m looking more at the red stripe between the yellow nose
and the black roof. The right side (of the image) is higher than the left side,
so it looks like the train is leaning hard into a right-hand curve. Looking at
it again, even the pantograph slopes up&right, it should slope down and right,
because of the angle we’re looking at it.
Maybe I should just trim the Eurostar off the poster, by cutting off the right
and bottom edges... *grin*
