This is my absolute favorite passenger train. It is nicely balanced, pretty and so very universal.
Thank you so very much!

Due the bad stability of this SPV, mostly a locomotive was coupled to some SPV/coaches. SPV was also nicknamed SPV = Seldom Powered Vehicle .

@THE TRUE TRANMASTER they would run them either as a string of SPVs or a SPV and coach

did these rum with passenger cars or did they just stack a ton of them together?

lol, i was actually about to ask if i could mod your RDC into the M-497.. good to know it's already in the works

I know... i have modelled the black beatle from my Budd-RDC but its not ready to release :steamsad:

Yes, but the Black Beetle had a sloped front. And with two jet engines on the roof, anything will go fast. The trick is to make it go fast WITHOUT the jets strapped to the roof.

A still standing world record ;) never ever a jet engine-powered railvehicle has run faster.

Ah yes, the IC3. I've been on one. It's pretty quick. I'm not sure if I think it's ugly, but it's certainly unusual. I prefer the X31, the newer, electric version that also operates in Sweden.
