Despite living in a former colony, I'm familiar with the likes of the Mallard streamliner as I had a Hornby model railway set when I was young. Your train looks higher than it. Maybe it was just thinner. I presume it was an elite passenger engine? Mind you, my favourite train is the TGV. I took my first trip on it back in 1989 from Paris to Valence, and it clipped along at over 175 mph effortlessly. I was hooked. In a car, the max I've done is about 150 mph. I'd love to try one of those maglev things.
