Passenger Trains > New Talgo vs UP M9000

Does the Cab of the new Talgo look like the old UP M9000 Trainset?

In Wisconsin, yes.

Because just as there was no Union Pacific M9000, there will be no Talgos running in Wisconsin.

I think you meant Union Pacific M-10000.

Does the name 'Bug-eye Sprite' ring a bell?

For the 90% who won't recognize the "Bug Eye Sprite" comment.
Austin Healy 1959 (?) Sprite, 948 cc OHV engine, 4-speed manual, 4 wheel drum brakes, and loads of fun.
Don Healy designed it with retracting headlights but they ended up fixed due to price considerations.
In about 1962 it was changed into a different body style and marketed as a twin to the MG Midget, about a 80% scale model of the MGB.
They are still raced in H Production SCCA events, and I still see one on the road a couple of times a year.
I bought it in Utah while in the Army and drove it to SP jobs in Los Angeles, Watsonville, Ogden, and Tucson, where I sold it upon becoming a parent.
Never broke down on the road, I tore down and rebuilt the engine and transmission at the Army base "hobby shop" a garage for G.I.s to work on their cars.

The Lucas electrical gear in the old British Leland cars must have inspired the TV show where all electric power stops working.

Off on a tangent here...

Why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas refrigerators.
