That is a real beauty :geek:
I'm so pleased that lego have made the SNCF TGV ! Loads of interesting little details with the opening doors etc and also great news that a new range has been made to accomodate the more adult builder.
My only issues is that you'll need to get 2 of the sets to have a propper train with a front and back and the carriages attach in an odd way. Still, great looking set!
