And it's even the new Dutch version of a highspeed train... What do they have with ugly noses?

That is odd, it does here...

Well I went to the site in your link, pointed at future travel, clicked on products/trains, and clicked on the 'nieuw' in red. Maybe it will work if you try that?

It doesnt

edit: I downloaded this: http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlnFLVPlayer.html

Then i copied this url: http://www.nshispeed.nl/images/stories/ ... lm_web.flv into prgram.

Now it plays.

Well the link works for me! What is it with the Dutch and having some really ugly trains? That HST looks hideous! You need a train like the TGV/Thalys or the ICE that actually looks fast even if it's standing still.

I know, the odd thing is, is that normal trains (for standard or intercity use) look even better IMO. (Some look maybe even faster.)

That is one ugly train, I wonder how the designer must have felt while drawing it...

Illegal_Alien · Post by **Illegal_Alien** » 27 Mar 2007 16:18

The Koploper has a Badguy look

The V-IRM a bit of a dont [beep] with me.
The Sprinter looks very friendly.
The GTW`s looks like a female sextoy

Wadlopers are just Legoblocks on wheels.

The new HiSpeed one, hmm, Its a computer rendering so i thing the nose would be a bit longer, i think i am gonna like it because of its uglyness.

Yuck...

HAHAHAHA What a joke!

DeletedUser21 · Post by **DeletedUser21** » 28 Mar 2007 06:01

And the desinger of that train is really proud of his/her work?

chevyrider · Post by **chevyrider** » 28 Mar 2007 07:38

This must be a joke.
An electric train with a radiator?
No red tail-lights visible.

And then the slogan:" NS Hispeed opent nieuwe wegen."
Translated: :" NS Hispeed opens new roads."

The last one could be slightly possible if you translate it back to American-English, then you would say: Railroad.
