Never did one of these before so here it goes! Found this at a big trainshow this past weekend. This was one of those childhood things where soon as I saw it I had to have it...damn impluse buys lol. French TGV trainset. Copied from Lima, made by Playart, sold in model power boxes 
The 4th car back is sagging because the drawbar was hooked up wrong its fixed now. However, both power cars are dummy units. Hoping I'm a few ebay auctions away from fixing that. If I get another TGV set I'll probably put whatever is left up for sale on here 
Now your probably asking, how big is it? Too big for my layout lol.
That said, I built the layout to handle extended length cars as best as it could. They swing though the rock pass just fine.
And one more head end shot

| Well like I said. If I get a powered set. I'll probably sell off one of the head end dummy units and a section of cars for cheap. Any more cars and the front & back of the train will be having a staring contest lol.

** Hi Chriss ! Nice set. We' We' . "I am talk'in French. "
* Either that or I have to go.
* Good luck with it. Dont worry about that rocky cut. the engine unit will clear out the space it needs.
