I've been wanting to build a model of Irish Rail's 22000 Intercity Railcar for several years, and I thought it was time I just got on with it.

The Cab is a really interesting shape, and i'm sure there's a to achieve this with 2x6 curved wedge slopes. I'm not feeling it's where I would like it, so I'll be reworking it. Most of my trains have taken at least 4-5 iterations to get to a stage where I'm happy.

It's also one of my first experiments with 7-wide trains, so I've learned a few things, but I think I need to learn a few more before I'll be happy.

Thought I'd share progress so far. I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.

I was hoping to have it finished for Blackrock, but it will take a couple for Bricklink orders.
