I notice a few people have been asking for information about where to purchase model Maglevs.
The plastic model company, Revell, makes a 1/87 scale model (HO scale for model railroaders!). I think it is still current, but I have not got access to their latest German catalogue.
It is a very simple model which can be placed on its special track for display. No gluing is necessary.
Unfortunately, where the windows should be, it has black painted stripes, instead of a tinted glass effect!
I was very disappointed with this, as I had purchased two of them to convert to working models for a modern era train layout I am building.
I consider the failure to have transparent windows on the actual model - which are clearly and misleadingly shown on the front of the box - to be dishonest advertising.
