Isn't that a rip=off of the Swedish XJ Class or something? With tilting mechanism to reach higher speeds in corners?

It certainly looks good. The white attracts dirt though, I don't know if you ever saw an ICE but they get dirty soon.

I guess the white is not the final livery yet....

Doesn't look very "finished" to me...

I think the old one looked better. It had character, while the new one is just a clone of the medium to high speed types that are appearing all over the world.

@Killer 11

I think what you mean is a little engine used to pull this thing. It's used a lot in Germany. They are called "Köf".
Don't ask me what it stands for, I don't know. :wink:

I know you have word-blindness, and thus I can't understand your post.
But why did you revive a nearly three year old thread ?
