I received a 2 locomotive 2 car HO Mehano Alstom Thalys high speed train set. It’s my first foreign high speed train set. The models looks nice but the coaches and locomotives are too light and horrible. You can even see light through the coaches if you hold it at a light source. The locomotives does not have a weight chase. inside, and are not well covered. I will eventually power the dummy locomotive and add lots of weight to the locomotive and coaches.
Why do you do multiple threads on the same subject rather than just commenting under your own original thread? You will get more comments and keep it coherent than trying to follow the responses on three or four threads.
