    New MOC: X2000 - the Swedish high speed train —Mattias Martensson
   Hi all I have put up some pictures of my latest MOC. (URL) is a model of the Swedish high speed train X2000. The original has a tilting mechanism to allow fast running through tight curves, but my model is only suitable for straight Lego track and (...)

     (...) That's a beautiful looking train. Very nice detailing. Definitely looking forward to the LDRAW file. Thanks for sharing it. Play well. Tim Strutt (22 years ago, 16-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

        Re: New MOC: X2000 - the Swedish high speed train —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Thanks for sharing. What are the rods or tubes that go from the bodies to the truck centers? Are those somehow connecting with the tilt mechanism, or are they dampeners/stabilizers or ?? (22 years ago, 16-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: New MOC: X2000 - the Swedish high speed train —Mattias Martensson
      (...) 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)

     (...) It certainly is. (although I would like some close-ups of the windows - I am not sure I understand the explanation of how they were made) (...) It is a part of the tilt mechanism. They are actually hydraulic cylinders for tilting the cars. If (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

Once I read some information about the X2000 (and X2001, then never version, but runs under the X2000 name). The engine does not tilt, only the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

   (...) I have just posted two ldraw-pictures on Brickshelf which I hope will explain the construction of the windows. Thanks for the interest and all kind remarks about my model Mattias (URL) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: New MOC: X2000 - the Swedish high speed train —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) partially connected studs as you have here is that the models tend to be very fragile. (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: New MOC: X2000 - the Swedish high speed train —Reinhard "Ben" Beneke
   (...) I think it only depends on the inside: the wall itself will be highly fragile this way, but if you put enough bricks into the model and connect roof and base with center-stud plates, then it gets heavy but really sturdy.
