Not exactly, the design is quite different from TGV and "Duplex TGV". TGV exists in various liveries - here a link that help you to clearly understand. <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/pix.html> Focus on : "Sud-Est" (older one) with his orange color : <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/Sud-Est_classic/pix.html> ran noticeably between Paris and Lyon. "Réseau" with his common blue and grey livery <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/Reseau/pix.html> "Poste" , the yellow postal TGV :<http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/Poste/pix.html> "Duplex", the double deck one : <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/Duplex/Paris/pix.html> has clearly a different design than the previous ones. These runs mainly in France "Thalys" <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/fr/electric/emu/TGV/Thalys/pix.html> runs between Paris-Brussel-Amsterdam (PBA) and Cologne (Koeln) (PBKA). It has an engine design quite the same of "duplex". "Eurostar" is the Paris-London "TGV" <http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/gb/electric/Eurostar/3000/pix.html> but has significant difference in the design, only technologies are quite the same. > A model of a Thalys or an SNCF liveried TGV would be great to see and also quite > striking.

I'm currently building 5 more cars and 2 more engines to let them runs together during our next meeting in Lyon (21 of may).

(...) Thanks to everyone who has answered. I think that these Paul Arzens trains are the closest thing to the real answer to my question. They do seem quite a distinctly European (as opposed to a single country) design and I have noted similar (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.trains)
