[quote user="CMStPnP"]I am aware of the Talgo design and I think it is crap. Prefer the Accela design better as well as the replacement they are buying. [/quote] Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. I just decribed why it was developed, I'm not judging it. For those who are not familiar with tilting trains: The Talgo System is a passive tilting system where the carbody is suspended above the center of gravity. The natural centrifugal force let the center of gravity move outside tilting the body to the inside. For those interested: <a href="https://www.talgo.com/en/rolling-stock/technological-principles/">https://www.talgo.com/en/rolling-stock/technological-principles/</a> The Acela Express has an active tilting system where acceleration sensors control hydraulic rams to tilt the carbody. The active system is wider spread. Early systems sometimes led to motion sickness. With the advent of computer controlled system this problem got solved. Regards, Volker
