These pictures first appear in a blog post at Unsuck DC Metro (http://unsuckdcmetro.blogspot.com/2012/02/7000-series-cars-begin-to-take-shape.html?tw_p=twt) on 02 17 2012. Don't know how they came into Unsuck DC Metro possession.

The 24 second Youtube clip is obviously WMATA a tease.

Looks like Kawasaki has finished fully assembling the prototype train set.

We will have to wait until later today to see what is in the full length video.
