[quote user="7j43k"]This would imply that there was a locking mechanism to dis-allow body tilt.  Until 44 MPH.  Why do this?  What benefit is there in locking at a lesser tilt angle?[/quote] With a Google search I found the following publication: In Pursuit of Speed: New Options for Intercity Passenger Transport, Issue 233 On page 28 is stated: The Talgo Pendular has a passive tilt mechanism that is allowed to function when speeds exceed 43 mph and the radius of curvature is less than 5,000 feet. <a href="https://books.google.de/books?id=Ar4vLYagxtMC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=talgo+pendular+tilting&source=bl&ots=jJTooWWw1V&sig=D-bev0u-jjDuiJ_NKkWOFyToSwY&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWz8X7hMTYAhUKiLwKHc4eBdEQ6AEIsAEwFA#v=onepage&q=talgo%20pendular%20tilting&f=false">https://books.google.de/books?id=Ar4vLYagxtMC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=talgo+pendular+tilting&source=bl&ots=jJTooWWw1V&sig=D-bev0u-jjDuiJ_NKkWOFyToSwY&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWz8X7hMTYAhUKiLwKHc4eBdEQ6AEIsAEwFA#v=onepage&q=talgo%20pendular%20tilting&f=false</a> Why it is this way I don't know.
