Hi all,

Just my little version of Le Capitole. I believe this was the first
passenger train to achieve 200km/hr.

Please let me know what you think, what improvements I could make.

Wow, excellent model!
I saw some pictures of FreeLUG member Didier Malon last year, check out

From what I've seen on photo's regarding the real thing, the nose curve is
somewhere in between what you and Didier Malon chose, ie almost impossible
to do in LEGO. Love how you added depth by recessing the doors and adding
other details to the sides

Now for an 8-wide? ;)

(...) Thanks! (...) Ah yes. Didier Enjary showed me that one. One might be able to simulate a more subtle curve using the new 1x1x2/3 slopes indented slightly or at an angle but I fear the gains would be minimal as you would lose the true roundness (...) (19 years ago, 12-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)
