--SNIP-- (...) --SNIP-- 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 saw your model while flicking through brickshelf the other day and thought at first you had made a sort of old-fashioned toy train until I saw the name and realised that it must have existed.

Adler may be the namesake of the locomotive, while Brotli-Bahn the train-- bread or breakfast role train, I think. Thanks to Big Ben Bricks (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

SNIP What I like the most here is the use of a SNOT wheel holder as the front lamp. Smart idea. Quite stealable. You seem to have captured the proto quite well, and the windows are a refreshing change. Dunno why you picked solid colours though. If (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
