[quote user="Overmod"]There is apparently one Talgo "locomotive" that has tilt, described as the Talgo BT (which I presume is a joint development with Bombardier from the name).[/quote] The diesel-hydraulic power unit for the Talgo XXI was developed by Krauss-Maffei the electric power unit by Adtranz. The European version has a front B-truck and shares a single wheelset with the first coach. A version for the American market has two B-trucks: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080624062734/http://www.talgoamerica.com/talgo_xxi.asp">https://web.archive.org/web/20080624062734/http://www.talgoamerica.com/talgo_xxi.asp</a> The German article I linked describes the Talgo XXI. When describing the coaches it mentions the tilting but not in the power unit description. Here is the Bombardier data sheet of the 155mph RENFE 130 power unit: <a href="http://www.br146.de/revisionen_daten/S130_10293_LOC_Sept08_en.pdf">http://www.br146.de/revisionen_daten/S130_10293_LOC_Sept08_en.pdf </a> I think the Talgo Pendulum system won't work with B-trucks. The system depends on the common wheelset between two cars. Regards, Volker
