Hello all ;
Here are some of the first images of saudi arabia's high speed Talgo train ste ('Avril' model, less ugly than its brothers of REnfe's series 102 AVE's ) in tests, done by user 'MiguelAgp' in youtube
And of course, it was necessary to carry the train from Talgo's factory in Ribavellosa, in tne North of Spain to a port, wher it was finally shipped to Saudi Arabia. This second feature shoes the special train from ribavellosa to the port. As the train is standard gauge and the 'heritage' network of Spain is broad gauge, special Vevey Pony trucks were used, and it's maximum speed during the trip was just 50 kmhr, sue to lake of a continuous brake system. also to 'connecting' flatcars were used
