Matt, your TGV is just awesome. All the latest passenger trains are
EXCELLENT- I only wish every one had all the disk space and camera equipment
they could want so we all could see the latest variations. I got to see Dave
V's TGV at the PNLTC Western Washington State Fair exhibit. He's made some
really good modifications from what can be seen at his web site- and he's got
good plans that will make it even better, but I digress...
I am so geeked to see all these new models. I am really thankful we've got
this web-deal for FU-UN! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah! No silly rubbber bands!
Magnets AND spring bricks!
Simple bogie slider-pivot stage!
Using the brick line to simulate the door outline!
This is just good. All these ideas are really taking form and making
some beautiful trains. I sense that the publishing of all these ideas is
really working in cooperation to make each new train better and better. I love
it!
I have got to try all these, too. I am really hoping that Matt's spring
brick and magnet coupler has enough translation for my middle passenger
car. Oops, I'm gonna need more spring bricks! Where can we get these
nowdays? You and Eric Brok- yah, you two, with all the spring bricks! ;-)
Now, back to studying the pictures. Thanks for posting the previews.
later,
James Mathis

| Here's my interpretation of the TGV (URL) could still do with a bit of work and some better photos but Steve Barile was dying to see my progress. It uses my spring-loaded close-coupled articulation that Steve mentioned. Matt (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
