| Hi, Have you ever try to put 22 Volt in a regular 9V regular Lego train motor? Xavier Viallefond (BS galery here: (URL) was not affraid to make this experiment during our last Exhibition in Claix (France). As an electro-technician teacher he built (...) (19 years ago, 30-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) As one of the biggest fans of the TGV, its great to see it going faster. :P I would like to know more about this MOC. How many cars do you have for it? Do you have more pictures of the train. How fast can you make the train go around the (...) (19 years ago, 31-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) On the video the train had 3 cars and 2 locos but the whole MOC was designed with 5 cars and 2 locos. The real TGV is always compound of 8 cars (and 2 locos) numbered 1 to 8, but usually between Paris and Lyon, there are 2 TGV trains fixed (...) (19 years ago, 31-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains)

| Hello, I would like to comment a bit on the speed calculation for the TGV. BTW a very impressive TGV release by Xavier Viallefont. In fact we should apply the scale factor to estimate the speed of Lego trains and compare to the "real world". To ease (...) (19 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) it seems to me that it's 300, at least for the "Duplex" version. This (URL) source> talk about 300 also for "Atlantique" and "Réseau" versions. Concerning the number of trailers, TGVs are mainly 8 cars configuration (about 200m lenght), and (...) (19 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
