Hello Everyone A while back when pictures were leaked of the new High Speed Passenger Train 60051 I looked at it and thought of the possibility of a modified version gracing the rails of the LBB. I had wanted to build a High Speed Train earlier on but I was rather disappointed with the nose of 7897 and with 4511 the cab was too futuristic looking, with 60051 however I could see the potential for a nice looking train straight away. The original design is quite nice but there were a number of things that I wasn't happy with, I wanted to see what could be done to improve the overall design. These included the number of cars in the train, the length of the coaches, interior detail, lack of defined doors on the coaches as well as the profile of the roof and the pantographs. I then set about on a program of deciding what parts to use and then collecting them from Bricklink while I waited for the set to be released, then finally when the set became available it was off to work, now to the backstory. In 2001 the LBB made the decision to provide high speed passenger trains for use on the cross border inter city services between Legodtenstein and San Antonio, they embarked on a program that saw the introduction of five 4 Car trains into service on the LBB network. The RABDe 4/16 consist of a 1st Class Power Car, 1st Class Coach, 2nd Class Coach and 2nd Class Power Car, the whole consist is capable of reaching speeds of up to 200km/h.
