   Hi all,

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

Well, just gorgeous, Tim. Another one kicked out nicely. The pantograph is sweet. Are there no undercarriage bits for the coaches?

My memory is so bad!!!! The panto is based on a combination of your and Samarth Moray’s designs with a little touch of my own alteration which I meant to credit in the original post.

There probably is some undercarriage detail but I completely forgot about it.

   The wrap-around cab glass looks great with the SNOT dark gray curve at the back.

Thanks.

   Are the coaches taller than the loc? The coach roof line is interesting.

They are a little taller in the model and I think they are in the prototype too. The carriages I saw did have a curved roof which is what I tried to capture (not entirely to my satisfaction but I wanted a lift off roof too...)

   Nice work.

later,

James Mathis

Speak to you soon,

Tim
