I haven't heard about the dark blue one with yellow stripes. But that doesn't
mean there is none! I meant the german version used by the "Deutsche Bahn".
That one is white, the windows are covered dark blue and there is a light blue
line under the windows (between blue and white).

Come on, building such acurate LEGO models you will be good in fixing tape to a
train door!

Great, I saw that page (like all other pages on your LEGO website) before. I
just couldn't remenber that you allready managed to build a Talgo train. My
problem is, I have none of these pieces with the suspension inside ;-(( I have
to use rubber bands, will that work?

But first of all I have to get all my old LEGO bricks from my grandmothers
house in Berlin (its over 700 km away from Moenchengladbach)! But next week I
will go there, and meet BEN on half way through.

Have you seen my first MOCs online? Check out:

Kind regards,

Holger Matthes ...from Germany (Doesn't Mathis and Matthes sound very
similar??)
