the lethal spaghetti was a bit of a challenge; mostly finding bits of wire that were flexible enough to pass between the 2 cars. I'm also going to have to do a bit of insulating on the connections to the bogies at some point. Judging from the wiring I think that the detailed interior might be out.
The motor bogie mount has come out pretty much as I had intended it. Its about as simple as one can get and even looks quite tidy. It needs some weight in the gap at the front of the bogie, but still manages to pull the whole model back and forward on the test track. It even makes it round a 15" radius curve in one direction. This will all change when the top goes on though.

That's quite impressive. Nanotechnology be blowed.
For passengers, could you doodle up some 'people in profile sitting inside the window' on the pc, print out in colour (or b/w silouettes and stick this inside the windows? could also do that red stripe that seperates the two window panes too?
here is a bad example...! click me
You could also try and run the wires as high as poss, attached to the inside of the roof?
Or thru the aisle between the seats?
