TGV Iris 320は、LGV(TGVの走行する高速新線)向け検測車(新幹線でいうドクターイエローやeast-i)です。
TGV-Rの1編成をベースに改造されており、時速320km/hでの検測走行が可能となっています。
作例ではRenfe Aveの先頭部にTGV PSEのノーズ部分を移植してTGV-Rタイプとし、中間車にはTharys用の8両を使用しています。
最大の特徴となる複雑なラッピングについては1両ずつ模様も異なることから、実物写真を参考に根気よくIllustratorでデザインして作成しました。
-------------------
Base: KATO TGV Tharys + Renfe Ave S100 + TGV PSE
Painting: Self-mixed acrylic color(GSI-Creos Mr.Color, Gaianotes Color, Greenmax Railroad Color, etc)
Inscriptions: Self-made inkjet-decal (Printed by EPSON PX-G900)
Hello,
What a superb model! I have a number of TGV's in my N scale fleet & would love to have a model of the IRIS 320. Where did you get the artwork from for the train please. I can make decals using my printer, but I don't have enough good photos of the designs.
Can you help please?
Many thanks,
Nigel
Hello Nigel
Thank you for visiting out website.
I've never been to France, so I got sample pictures of Iris320 from Google Image Search(Using "google.fr") and YouTube, etc.
Some parts of my artwork may be incorrect.

Hello !
Very good job !
You know, I live in France, and, I've never seen this train ! I would love to see it, but I think I'm not lucky...
I'd really like to do this train in HO (1/87). For a few years, I search pictures of the train which could help me to re-create the artwork but, like Nigel, I haven't got enough good pictures.
I'd like to know if you could send me pictures of the train, to help me, please...
One more time, very good job !
Thanks
Théo
I agree with the other comments, an excellent job and a beautiful train! I was fortunate enough to see this in person last May at Gare de Lyon and it looks great in person too!
