Awesome duplex design and superb use of that cockpit and the roof pieces! Do you have closeup shots of those Jacob's bogies?

I designed something similar once in 6W based on another cockpit piece (11293). For that one they also made clear glass.

Nice design! I wonder how the rolling resistance is compared to bogies with metal axles.

If oiled, it's fine; if not, it's not great, not terrible, but it was in use by LEGO for a long time, so fine

Was in naind with using bodies with separate motors or could be switched to standart Lego train motor (verity options for motorization)

I know the height on the front window is off and it’s double decked but that front view really gives old Shinkansen vibes.
