(...) Very impressive model Tim! Maybe you should ask LEGO if they where able to make up a set from this creation? Or they could make up a designer type set from this: I am sure you could come up with nice alternative models: most bricks seem to be (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 12-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Well, just gorgeous, Tim. Another one kicked out nicely. The pantograph is sweet. Are there no undercarriage bits for the coaches? The wrap-around cab glass looks great with the SNOT dark gray curve at the back. Are the coaches taller than the (...) (19 years ago, 12-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hello Tim, This is a great design. I like it a lot. The locomotive but also the passenger cars are very nice. Yes your right it was the first to run at 200 km/h on a commercial service on the 28 May 1967 between Paris and Toulouse. Do you (...) (19 years ago, 12-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
