Or is it the 4561 nose/plate?

The black nose comes from this set
6473 - RES-Q Cruiser

The set 6473 does not come with the trans yellow "Y" shaped headlight insert.

Here is my attempt to begin a model of a likeness of a Talgo passenger train
set.  The train may be bland, but the focus of this work has been to create • a
working shared monoaxle wheelset between adjacent passenger cars.
The train cars are close coupled using the Technic spring-brick technique.
The shared monoaxle wheelset is rigidly attached to a "beam" that connects • two
Technic spring-bricks.

I look forward to any comments and suggestions, as well as your own
improvements or radically different ways to achieve a Talgo-like shared
monoaxle train set.
(I'd like to see some better color schemes, too!  Like the Amtrak Northwest
corridor Talgo!)
