To James Mathis,
After buying some train stickers on Ebay, with Panoramawagen included . I have
wanted to build a 7740 Dome car of my own . So I went to have a look at your
7740 Dome car on Brickshelf, for inspiration. But I can't view the pictures of
your 7740 dome car.I've searched the web looking for pictures of the real thing.
Typing in on search sites , DB 103 & Rhinegold Express. I have only found a
version in tan & blue. Do you have some good pictures of this carrage in red &
yellow (tan/yellow).Or could you direct me to your Lego version.
I'm also collecting parts to build your English APT .But hope to make your red
line in orange. I have also built a version of your Yellow Dutch engine with
inverse mounted windows, but in red. From spare parts, after building a Santa fe
B unit.
Thanks for the great ideas & inspiration !
Teunis.
