I wonder if the large weight in the engine was an after thought. It looks to me like these were originally designed to use "C" size battery's but went to using the "AA"s so they had to replace the weight lost. Unless they just used the same drive, chassis & motor from an existing "C" size Shinkansen and converted it to "AA". I switched out the motor when I got the orange one with a Power Dash because we wanted it faster...Mistake...she won't stay on the rails on Hi because she flys around the track. Have to use the low speed as that is perfect. Might just switch it back though.
I have seen the silver TGV being offered from a French Ebay seller. In fact if its the same seller he seems to list a lot of neat stuff.
