Darthluke824 Posted April 11, 2014 Hello, I can't remember where I read or saw a photo of the real train that the 7938 is based off as well as a brick-built one. I would like to be directed to any infomation about it as I am planning on modifing my 7938. Thanks -darthluke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asper Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) For me this always looked like a Bombardier Talent in DB (Deutsche Bahn) colors (the older version, not Talent 2), here also known as BR644 and BR643. The front is a bit more curved than the Lint trains. Especially if you look at the modifications by cimddwc (https://www.flickr.c...57627251027713/) and some side views.

JopieK Posted April 12, 2014 I think the Bombardier is more like the older PF train (7897) although the LEGO nose is way too long for the Bombardier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 12, 2014 I think they also look a bit like the Stadler FLIRT. You can probably modify your 7938 to any of the trains mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted April 12, 2014 I take this one now and then in Holland: (The FLIRT that Dr. Spock was mentioning) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 12, 2014 I take this one now and then in Holland: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Spurt_Merwede-Lingelijn.jpg/800px-Spurt_Merwede-Lingelijn.jpg (The FLIRT that Dr. Spock was mentioning) I think that might be a picture of the Stadler GTW 2/8. I made one of those GTW 2/6 in DB colors: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92875 Although I didn't have a 7938 set, 7938 would mod nicely into one. What is it like riding the GTW? I have only seen pictures of them online. I think those Stadler designers may have cloned LEGO Airport Shuttle monorail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted April 12, 2014 It indeed is a Stadler GTW 2/8 but is also described as "FLIRT Type Spurt" (not sure if that is correct though). Well it is not bad, has airconditioning etc. but I normally only take it for about 2 minutes (one stop). Often very crowded though ;) Stadler and Veolia then I guess (they probably came up with the paint scheme ;)) dr_spock, is that image above from the other topic "rhätische bahn" in Switzerland?!
