Hello there,
Sorry for my English in advance (not native speaker). Wanted to share the results of my recently started project. The idea was to build a full railway station, with platforms, tracks, 2-3 trains, the station building with ticket offices, cafes, etc. I decided to start with the train, since it makes the whole job much easier when you have something been already built nearby, nice and shining. Kind of a motivation to go further
The train is designed after the "Allegro" train, which connects Helsinki (Finland) and St. Petersburg (Russia). I started to work on a seperate car that later could be doubled to form the train "body" with 2-3 cars. Then I plan to add the train head (locomotive) to the original car with headlights, cabin for machinist and so on. The car body geometry is not as precise as I wanted it to be, so at some point I might decide to reconstruct it to more narrow at the top.
Currenty, I'm working on exterior detalisation. You may see the progress below.
I will try to keep this thread updated and will send some fresh pictures soon.
Thank you!
