To get started, make sure to read these IMPORTANT GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS before you begin. Another excellent resource on how to build paper models is the Card Modeling FAQ by Steve Brown.
If you have any trouble or if something is wrong with the instructions, please contact me.
Prototype Model This is a complete scale model of the TGV Duplex high speed train, a bi-level trainset introduced in 1996 to serve the heavy traffic on the Paris-Lyon high speed line. Select the links below to view and print the parts sheets, making sure to read the corresponding instruction sheet before starting. Each vehicle will take you about 45 minutes to 1 hour to build. I wish to thank André Sintzoff and Tanguy Couvrat-Desvergnes for their help in getting the details right.
