Check out Alstom's new offering for SNCF ( french railway).
complete with length of train distributed power and braking. Dual mode power diesel and electric for inter and intra city use.
An article on the order from SNCF can be found here. (thanks Allan!)

With York coming up this week, if anyone else thinks these are cool please let MTH know. If not thanks for looking anyway.

Interesting. Are these MU's, or just power cars with matching coaches?
Distributed Power says to me that it's a multiple-unit trainset. That seems to be the way high-speed trains are being built nowadays.
Owing to the flat economy, I suspect that if MTH were to invest in new tooling for a European HST it would be for one that the general public knows instantly what it is when they see it--which points to the TGV.

they are MU type trainsets. they can be ordered to be pure electric or dual mode diesel and electric.
