(...) Larry, I built a tilting train about 4 years ago but that was based loosely on the 4559. It used the same principles (slanted truck pivots) with tune-able lean angles and could snake through S-bends at reasonable speeds. Only reason I broke it (...)

(...) Ah, but how did it cope with double bends? The Hornby APT, which uses either slanted mounts or a contoured track, rises up on double bends in a most unprototypical fashion. My Pendolino doesn't rise up. Also, the pantographs don't tilt on the (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Bevel gears? WAY overengineered. Someone did a tilting metroliner that uses no gears at all, just slanted truck mounts. VERY clever. This was at least 3 years ago IIRC... I am 80% sure (but not 100%) it was either E. Brok or J. Mathis. (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)
