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!
I finally saw IRIS 320 with my own eyes! And I have all my photos !! So happy !
Hello,
Nice, nice !!

Hi Koumei,
What a very nice model!!
compliments.
Is the model for sale, or can you make me one?

Gerwin
Gerwin,
Thank you for visiting out website.
And I'm afraid these models are not for sale, and not accepting making another one.
I hope Lemke-Kato sells new TGV-R or Iris model.

Koumei
