AlexxInc Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I've started creating a new MOC. The TGV Carmillon. My first idea was a Thalys, but due to unavailable parts the idea was scrapped. I have fancied these SNCF train types for some time now and with nothing better to do it seems like a good time to finally build one. This is the bogie creation I have made; as you can see it will be an 8 stud wide model. This means it will be a lot heavier, but with the power of 2 normal powered train bogie's and a x6 AA battery box it should be no problem. The engine is near complete, but will need changes over time Edited October 24, 2021 by AlexxInc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The01 Posted October 19, 2021 Looking forward for this. A Thalys PBKA in this scale would look great! I saw a PBA and another Thalys in 4-wide, but not a PBKA Thalys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexxInc Posted October 19, 2021 Thank you! I have seen many Thalys in 6 wide (Standard LEGO gauge) but I like 8 knobs wide because you can add a significant amount of detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoMa Posted October 19, 2021 Dark red looks really good for the Thalys! 11 (!) years ago a friend and I realized a huge train layout at LEGO Fanwelt in Cologne. The old video shows Kai‘s Thalys and my ICE 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexxInc Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Thank you. That is real cool. Around 1.5 years ago I got your LEGO trains book and I've been using your great information till this day That Thalys is really nice, but if it was constructed in dark red it would look even better. Too bad the color is overly priced. Edited October 19, 2021 by AlexxInc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These days it should be possible, even of dark red is more expensive then classic red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
