The Talgo has been a project of mine, as well. I have seen an InterCityNight,
I think, stationed in Milano Centrale(spelling?) in Italy. It was destined for
Barcelona, Spain. The passengers bording looked to be ready to "party" ;-) If
I recall correctly, that trainset was dark blue with a yellow stripe? I could
be very wrong.

Thanks. Couldn't access the "mercurio" link. Hmm...sometimes that site
doesn't load for me.

I see that others seem to use tape over doors with good success. I'm not very
craftly, and my attempts to use colored tape seem to turn out ugly.

I have that dream, also. Here is my result from several months ago:
http://www.ee.nmt.edu/~jmathis/talgo.html
This trainset no has one more car than shown in the photos, so the trainset is
from one end to the other:
1) locomotive
2) interface passenger car
3) 3 passenger cars
4) interface passenger car
5) locomotive
later,
