Dear all,
Just uploaded pics of my rendition of a Russian EMU that runs one of the legs of
the Trans-Siberian railway. Not sure of the name and class of it as the only
railway fan pictures I could find were on a Russian site in Russian (x-posted to
.loc.ru just in case).
You can see the real thing here
or here and as you can see
it is in fact an EMU but I could find no pictures of the carriages so left it at
the engine.
I really, really like the design of this train. It has that real Soviet
Commercial Design style that is such a fascinating design movement (I know it
has a name but I can’t find it off-hand). The nose is just fantastic.
The brickshelf gallery (once moderated) is
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=133026
and deep links to some pics are
Iso view,
Front view
and Side
view.
I hope to make some instructions for it sometime and have uploaded the .mpd for
a start. I still need to check that the model is buildable although I think it
is.
At present there are two designs for the SNOT nose, one which is more realistic
but unbuildable (no 1x3x2 arches in Sand Green) and the other (pictured) which
is not as satisfactory but can be built.
Please let me know what you think. I’d also be interested in other peoples
experiences with Russian trains as I find the Soviet design fascinating.
Thanks for you comments,
Tim

Hi Matthias,
Sorry for this inconvinience. I should have responded only to the Dutch
(lugnet.loc.nl) instead of all those country's.
Regards,
Ludo

Hi Matthias,
..and a babelfisch translation from Dutch to English would not help much.. :-)
Herewith Ludo's story translated:
/start/
Hi Paul,
Thanks for this proposition. We, some Vlamingen (=people from the Dutch
speeking part of Belgium *khm) intend also to start a Club, if possible.
Every bit of help from experienced guys from De Bouwsteen is welcome! Our first
meeting is at my place on 12.04.2003. Result of the meeting?... W'll see.
/end/
Klaas H. Meijaard
Hé Ludo! Veel succes! We zijn benieuwd naar jullie bevindingen!
/transl:/ Good luck! :-)

Hallo Paul,
Hartelijk dank voor dit voorstel. Wij, dit zijn enkele Vlamingen, zijn ook
van plan om, indien mogelijk, een Club op te richten. Zo, alle hulp van
ervaren personen zoals jullie van De Bouwsteen, is hartelijk welkom. Wij
zouden onze eerste samenkomst bij mij thuis houden op 12 April 2003. Dan
zien we wel wat er eventueel uit de bus komt.
Groetjes uit West Vlaanderen,
Ludo
