Hi Mike, thanks :) Yes, it's a great set for the price and quite a strong runner. I've started some of the mods for this. All the best mate

Thanks Fabrizio. Have a great day. Ciao, Tom

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment...much appreciated. Yes, surprisingly well modeled for a budget set. A great way to get started with high speed trains. This is very similar to the Amtrak Acela, I'd love to see a set in Amtrak livery. All the best...Tom

Hi George..Thanks :) Yes, the Bordeaux is a superb colour and the train has a good motor unit. There's no noticeable difference in the speed with all 8 cars, so I'm pleased with that. 11 cars next time...then the new livery. Thanks again and all the best.

Hi Jim, thanks for watching. Yes, it's a well modelled set and very good for the price (£25 +p&p). The original set was made by Lima and it still pops up now and then on Ebay. I'm in the process of converting this one to track power. Yes, the TGVs are fantastic machines. I had a look at some of your high speed train videos recently...Really beautiful models. Thanks again and all the best :)

@@tomjenssen7486 Superb work Tom, It will be a unique model when finished.. P.s I have a new class 407 velaro but I have to convert all the coach wheel sets to d.c I will show soon I think you will like it....

@@hovermotion Thanks very much for the support Jim. I'm looking forward to see the 407 Velaro :)

Hi Peter, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, looks and runs very well. Great for the price and plenty to convert. All the best mate :)

Yeah, they're very good for the money and quite well modelled (apart from having no glazing.) This set has a great sound too...I might leave the wheels as they are and just use metal ones where I need pick-ups. All the best mate.

Hi Grant, thanks for commenting. All my high speed trains are battery operated (which I convert to track power) and converted Hornby Juniors (that require much more work) For me, it's a cheap and fun way to create full length HSTs. I find myself very much attracted to the Kato N scale as the make a range of Shinkansen bullet trains and they have a great system of sets which can be used to build up a layout. There are many HSTs available in H0 scale. I recommend Marklin if you want an ICE or Mehano if you want Spanish. I hope this is helpful. All the best....Tom

I bought the sets from Ebay.

@@tomjenssen7486 ok thank you 👍

Cheers Fred :) Yes, £105 and I can make an 11 car set (I'm making the 11th car right now) I;m waiting on a small sheet of copper so I can put together the some pick-up bogies for track power. I'm looking forward to giving this one a new livery. All the best mate :)

Hi Cary...Thanks very much. I really like that livery so I hope I'll be able to get it right. Should look really nice as an 11 car set. All the best :)

I found this when I was searching for the black and gray :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7WTpMl4nZfYXWQ.html
