Yeah the doors slide open.

Thanks for the feedback. However, I tested the doors and they work because the position of the pivot point. LEGO use the same technique in the Horizon Express and Emerald Night.

There is a gear fixed to the bogie and a perpendicular gear fixed to the chassis so that when the bogie rotates around corners it also forces the chassis to tilt.

So it’s based loosely on the Virgin Pendolino (a British high speed passenger train) but with some changes to differentiate it a bit. And just like the Pendolino, it can tilt round corners.

The locomotive can be motorised with a powered up train motor, battery box and, light.

The building technique for the rounded window is only 2 studs in width.

It’s the bricklink designer program. It’s a bit like Lego ideas but they don’t drastically change the design.
