Does the Acela tilt through curves and if so does the Bachmann model do too?

Mitchell,

Yes the Acela does tilt through curves, or at least the trailer cars do.

I've never seen the Bachmann model and I don't know if it does tilt.

I have the Heljan model of the Swedish X2000 Tilt train and it does tilt in curves.

YES and I have the model, and you can put it on the track and tilt it by hand.
