Hi, new to this forem. I am looking for a Maglev model or a futuristic looking (aka Japenese train look a like). Ultimately I am in search of this product in S or H but will take anything out there. I work for a museum and we are creating an exhibit about trains to travel around the country. I would sincerely appriciate the help!

Bachmann makes an HO model of the Acela, the latest Amtrak train. E-R Models imports an HO monorail from Australia. IHC imports the Thalys, he Belgian-French HST between Brussels and Paris. A maglev is easy to build but very hard to power. My daughter made one in HS out of balsa and magnetic tape. It would float down the "track" if pushed.

I have seen an HO scale static model of the
German Transrapid MAGLEV vehicle. It is produced
by the Revell Models, but are rather hard to
find.They do pop up on EBay once in a while.
Good Luck!!
