Hi all I have put up some pictures of my latest MOC. (URL) is a model of the Swedish high speed train X2000.

(...) Thanks for the kind words about my new model. Regarding the rods I don't have an certain answer. They are not found on the non-tilting engine so probably some kind of dampers as you suggest. Some people claim they got slightly see-sick when (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
