I wanted to model a train, and since my big brother (Esben Kolind) already built
most of the danish trains
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=esbenkolind), I searched the
internet for inspiration and came across the Arlanda Express. I've never been in
Stockholm, actually.

I haven't got enough dark grey plates to do the roof, unfortunately.
I tested the Modified Brick 2 x 1 with Curved Top (6091), but I prefer the
result as it is.
Kind regards,
