I'm confused as to why this splendid steam train is being designated the inspiration for the "Prince of Wales"? His London costume design is well documented as being based on the Advanced Passanger Train. Does this refer to his US productions costume design - I can't see any stylistic references in the costume design here. Please explain? http://www.bellesdomain.co.uk/stex/brochures/uk06_prince.jpg

He is also mostly based on the GWR 4900 Class which gives him a resemblance to a steam engine.
Again, I'm sorry but I can't see the resemblance here? http://www.bellesdomain.co.uk/princey.htm Here is my gallery of images of Prince of Wales. The Green version of the costume is clearly the Advanced Passenger Train. The silver version is less destinct, but he carries none of the design characteristics of the Steam Engines within the show, and all the characteristics of the diesels. http://www.bellesdomain.co.uk/stex/brochures/us93_17.jpg This image is a very rare picture of the silver Prince's helmet - as you can see the helmets are based very closely on the engines they represent. (He's second from left). This picture also puts him just by the steam trains, and there's really no common elements. Belle pullman 22:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
"But in some cases, he is a bit like a GWR 4900 Class."
I'm sorry to go on about this.... but there are only two costume designs for this character, and neither resemble a steam train at all! If I'm missing something here, please tell me...

Sorry if "Hashimoto" is the correct japanese spelling of the word, but the character's name is "Hashamoto"! Except when it's Nintendo. Belle pullman ( talk) 19:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Anybody have any clue as to his inspiration. Cause to me he doesn't appere to be based on any type of Loco ever made. At least not in russia. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 19:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually i did a little bit of reserch and i did find one (a little bit farfetched) engine that was made in the USSR that has an apperance similer to turnov's helmet I don't really think this is what he was based on but i will continue to look.

I Know It was stupid of me to think that was the basis for turnov but the reality of it is there has (as far to my knowledge) only been one high speed train for the USSR. Can't really remember what it was but i can tell you right now it doesn't look any more like turnov than that reject with jets that i posted. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 13:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah well the thing of it is that i would persoanally like to model Starlight Express on an HO model layout but it is difficult when you have no earthly clue what to use to represent turnov i've actually considered just modifying a German Decapod to look like a Soviet Steam Engine as they were very similer to eachother just so i could have a russian engine. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 13:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually I recently think that maybe turnov was based on the ER200 but this is just my view as this is the only High Speed Russian engine that would have been running around the time of Starlight. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 19:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
And what is the deal with espresso having the VIA Rail Canada logo anyway? -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 19:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay we all know that Rhurgold is based on the ICE. but what about his earlier persona i'd really like to find out what he might be based on. Belle if you have a closeup of his helmet let me know. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 19:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
anyone have any photo's of the National Engines from this particuler show. -- Starlight Controller ( talk) 13:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Should they be added? ElphaPearl ( talk) 17:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
