Eric, wow!!! Thanks so much for sharing your video’s with us. That is a serious Lego train, very very impressive. You must live with some very understanding people. My family wouldn’t allow it. You have done well just to organise all the straight (...) (16 years ago, 5-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Eric, I've been lurking, as well, for some year or more. Your design of the ICE is fantastic. I love the modifications you've made. Stellar set. The set runs so smoothly along those sweeping curves-- mezmerizing, indeed! I might make one (...) (16 years ago, 4-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Awesome work as usual Scott. For getting more gloss from decals I've found that a few coats of (URL) Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray> works well. It remains flexible after drying and gives the decal a nice LEGO like shine. Once they're cut out I (...) (16 years ago, 3-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Cool! And also neat to see mother necessity in action with the curves. Your implementation is the first time I've seen them realized. They look great in the videos. And as battery trains are becoming the norm, they'll be a lot easier to (...) (16 years ago, 1-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Thanks for the great feedback so far. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I had fun making them with all the different camera angles -- there were quite a few incidents involving the train colliding with the camera as well, so perhaps I should post a (...)

That is an absolutely beautiful trainset! Seeing it on the long curves is magnificent. I do have one suggestion/comment though.

Those videos are amazing! The long curves really put realism to the train. It looked like the train leaned into the curve a litte. Did you add a high pivot point, so that it would lean into the curve? Very nice setup and awesome train! Scott (16 years ago, 29-Jan-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
