Sorry for this unusual request, but I was wondering whether there is any place on the web where I could watch the video clip from the May 1990 TGV world speed record (320 mph). Saw it in a TV report some time ago, but forgot to record it. The video clip I am referring to is the one where the camera is placed right besides the trackbed at ground level. Then, after a few seconds, the train races past the camera, rocking it from the shock wave and covering it with dust trailing behind the train.Thanks!D.M."Homini plurima ex homine sunt mala." - Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia 7,1,5 Dominik MannVisit www.tssf.de - www.bahn.de - http://mercurio.iet.unipi.it/ - www.eisenbahnforum.de

RE: OT: TGV World Speed Record video clip?
Sorry, don't know where the video clip is, you'll probably have to contact French TV to get hold of it. There are a couple of good general TGV clips from Clem Tiller's site: http://www.trainweb.org/tgvpages.I don't count the Maglev as a true 'train', in that it effectively is a guided airliner (much the same as a guided bus). True, the technology is quite awesome, and performance runs show it to be the fastest guided vehicle on the planet (with the exception of rocket sleds), but a 'train' implies that its in contact (all being well) with the rails, not merely floating in a magnetic field. Well thats just my view. Now a rocket sled.... designers, it's over to you!
