Hi guys, I was thinking, how about we create a rolling stock together. I have modelling capabilities, and with your suggestions on what to add, who knows... one day we could be catching this train on the 7:21 to who knows where!

Whilst I finish making the improvements to my original designs. I have been working on a new concept, which combines the suggestions of comfort, seats, walkthrough, and smaller lengths.

So I decided to design my own dream tube stock of the future, and I rendered it.
Please be aware that...
