I’d missed the Pendolino, thats a nice model of a difficult (in Lego)
prototype, and I agrre with James on the bit below the windscreen. To me its
one of the non-obvious, but actually quite simple ideas that is very
effective. One thing I find strange is that people build the Pendolino rather
than the Voyager, which I think is a far better looking train, the Pendolino
is a bit blobby at the front end.

I do prefer the Pendolino to the Voyager (and they are much more comfortable to
travel in) but mostly it was the challenge of working out how to do the front in
a six-wide train. I have to say that it’s quite a challenge to build most of the
passenger trains around here (Manchester) in six-wide. For example I built a
Metrolink tram which is OK but nowhere near as accurate as this
Turin version built in
eight-wide. And that was with some very fiddly SNOT work.
