This train is so sleek that it made me think “Space train”. It would look
cool on a lunar or martian landscape.

Thanks, John.
While I wasn’t shooting for the moon, I was going for a bit of a modern
retro-style look. Hmmm, think VW Bug -> New Beetle or Classic Mini -> New Mini
Cooper. For this concept Zia loc, I was trying for a Modern Euro-look to update
the
classic DB 103 electric high-speed locomotive. I definitely strayed from the
headlamp layout, but I really wanted that egg-like shape. Unfortunately, I
don’t think I captured the rounded nose in both the vertical and horizontal, but
at least I hope the Zia looks unique, if not original.
later,
James Mathis
