[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]Admittedly, the Talgos are pretty low-slung even by European standards.[/quote] The Talgo trains use a passive tilting system. The angle of tilt is limited to about 3.5° while active tilt angles can reach 8.6°. The lower center of gravity compensates for part of the angle disadvantage. The low center of gravity is made possible by the articulated construction and independent wheel suspension. <a href="http://trn.trains.com/~/media/images/railroad-reference/ask-trains/july-2011/trn-at0711_a-talgo-suspension.jpg?mw=1000&mh=800">http://trn.trains.com/~/media/images/railroad-reference/ask-trains/july-2011/trn-at0711_a-talgo-suspension.jpg?mw=1000&mh=800</a> Taken from <a href="http://trn.trains.com/railroads/ask-trains/2011/07/talgo-speed-comparison">http://trn.trains.com/railroads/ask-trains/2011/07/talgo-speed-comparison</a> The Talgo Series 8 (Cascade) wouldn't fit the W6A loading gauge. It is 3'' too wide. Shouldn't be a problem when required. Regards, Volker
