This has progressed far enough over the last year for some preview pictures (also spurred by another user posting their progress on a similar Eurostar train). Train set 60197 always reminds me of the Eurostar high-speed trains between the UK and France, especially the original e300 (which was an adaptation of the French TGV). I am attempting to recreate this train as a 6-wide, in iterative fashion: First as close to 60197 as possible, reusing the roof and front design from that set. Then I hope to proceed into making a custom roof (with curved studless slopes versus the current 45 degree slope bricks) and a custom front. Here is the Stud.io plan I am working off of: I have so far built 5 cars (one half of the trainset) - 3 are already connected with wheelsets, the others are nearing completion. Here are some potato pics of the first 3 cars: The consist is powered with PoweredUp (as in the original 60197) - one hub and 2 motors under the front carriage. Some color-vomit in the undercarriage due to missing pieces. (NOTE: I need to find a better setup for pictures, and a better place to share them than Flickr. They are disallowing downloads/sharing of high-res pictures starting next week (May 15th). My apologies for the crappy detail on the pictures above - was in a hurry when I took these and posted them. As I continue to complete this train, I hope to get better pictures posted as well).

Hi All, Long time collecter, first time poster from Geelong Australia. I've recently begun collecting Lego again as an AFOL (with my kids as the excuse!).. At the moment i'm mad about Lego City Trains, and started the collection with 60197 and 60198. Hoping that lego will bring out some new models soon. I've also setup a new track at home in the dedicated lego room.. And sometimes I even let the kids play too. I'm currently collecting track, so i can build an outdoor layout. Anyway, below is a vid of my 60197 taking it's first spin on the home layout. Cheers Dave.

I've just started building my first home office lego trainset. At the moment, it's just the basic track layout in the lego room.. which ironically, the kids think was built for them.. So wrong they are... :) What are peoples thoughts on using 3rd party track to get access to tighter curves and compact points.. Instead of the space wasting ones that come from lego?? Anyway, below is a quick video of the 60097 in action around the layout..

Attempted to setup a massive indoor/outdoor lego trainset yesterday, and came off with alot of impressive crashes! Looks like i need some practice in setting gradients properly.. Perhaps next time i'll make the bridges out of lego too.. :)
