@UraeusAnkhAmon Thanks for your suggestion. I have indeed thought about this, but the problem is that a full Eurostar trainset is 2 locomotives + 18 wagons, meaning the LEGO model (at my present scale) would be some 6 m long, which would unfortunately be both difficult to power effectively (i.e., many motors needed) and actually use on all but the largest of layouts. I do plan on expanding my Eurostar to the length of the ICE3/TGV, which would be about half length (2 locomotives + 9 wagons).
The headlights and taillights on the ICE 3 are LEGO light brick pieces (white) that are connected via the electric system to the 9V motor. All of my models use only LEGO parts, but I'm sure interesting results could be achieved with customization.
LEGO now makes a pair of LED lights as part of the Power Functions system. Although this part didn't exist when I made the ICE 3, I have used the LED lights in other models with great results. Cheers!
@MrNelson1313 Merci pour vos commentaires! Le TGV a été construit pendant quelques mois selon la disponibilité des pièces de ma collection. Le ICE 3, par contre, a evolué pendant plusieurs années, premièrement avec 6 wagons, puis c'est maintenant complet avec 8 wagons. Merci et j'aime aussi les trains de la Suisse, alors peut-être je devrais construire un modèle... :)
@LEGO9vtrainfan Oui, nous avons presque les même couleurs que la DB :P
ce serait intérésant si vous feriez le ICN (intercity neigzug) ou même encore mieux si vous faites un deux étage ou encore le TEE qui ne roule plus malheureusment, ou la flèche rouge :) entoutcas vous avez le choix avec les trains suisse ^^
J'éspere de bientôt voir des nouvelle vidéos de vos trains! =))
@kebabuk Thanks for your comments! I have a video of my TGV and ICE 3 racing on the same layout in the works -- I just need to finish editing it. Stay tuned...

@UraeusAnkhAmon Alternatively, I may just decide to build a new model of the announced Eurostar e320. : )

How do you afford all these lego Trains? I looked up some on the lego.com and they were really expensive
Godzillafan541 11 months ago
@Godzillafan541 By having a job and paying for them after saving up, plus lego trains are not expencive at all. your income must be really low.

Very impressive LEGO trains! You are a genius!
Are the headlights/taillights LEDs added by yourself?
