hello all this is my first time posting on the HO board so cut me some slack. I'm planning on doing an HO module for my clubs layout and plan to model it after starlight express but i've run into a snag on finding some models. 1st: TGV in Blue or Orange 2nd: British Advance Train or Tilting Train 3rd: High Speed Italian Train 4th: High Speed Russian Train or Some Kind of Russian Engine 5th: Swedish X2000 6th: German ICE 1 or 3 or some other Good German Engine 7th: Any other nationalities any help in locating these kinds of engines would be helpful. Also if anyone needs a reference to the Engines looks go here http://www.bellesdomain.co.uk/ just click on starlight express and go to the chracter galleries you should find the nationals there.
The problem is that although not an exclusive forum most of the people here are modelling North American prototypes. You haven't filled your profile in, so I don't know where you are in the world (though I guess the left hand flag means USA ), but as well as generally Googling and ebay searching, I'd look out some European forums - and poke around in Yahoo! groups - for people who might be modelling those prototypes. I'm sure I saw something recently about an X2000 model, but can't remember where now, and I'd be amazed if there aren't models of TGVs, ICEs and the Pendolinos (Italian) fairly readily available in Europe. The British APT is a piece of history, and never went into production. I expect models were made, but probably a good time back. The others I have no idea about (is there even a Russian HST?)
