I've tried to make a likeness of a TEE (Trans European Express?) observation
car to complement the 7740 passenger train set pulled by a likeness of the
German DB103 (my version 2) electric locomotive.

The observation car uses 1/4-circle curved-top "Paradisia" trans-clear window
wall "corners".  (wheh! you'll know what I mean when you see them.)  I used
four of these elements on their sides and in oposite directions to make the
observation window covering.

Personally, I think this observation car looks a little dispropotionate, but I
like the effect of the "bubble dome", so I think I'll keep it.

James,another beautiful model!
I tought many times about building a TEE train (8wide,of course),but I haven't
windows enough!
What about using 2x4x2 (or 2x6x2) windscreens,instead of Paradisa corner
windows?

And just one more question: where do the yellow plane windows in your 103
engine come from?

Gianluca
