For some reason I can't see anything.  If anyone else has the same problem, this will also give you some idea of the look:

I found this link on the first mentioned website: http://railannouncement.zenfolio.com/p1019021600

Looks very similar to the Class 395 and very Japanese.

Shades of the pointed end of the "Hakutaka"...

 

I was in London and on my way to/from Heathrow noticed that the former North Pole Road Eurostar depot is being readied for the IEP trains - including the construction of tracks connecting the depot to Paddington station (the IEP trains will eventually also run on the ex-GW main at least as far as Bristol...when the wires come up, of course...).

It's like a less lumpy E7.  It's nice, so should be an interesting development.
