(...) How about: on each bogie but the first/last, have 2 vertical axles, one for each car; each with a 24t gear (the 2 of which are meshing). Mount the 2 cars using that bogie (or their pendulum bases, rather) on these 2 axles, and the bogie will (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well, I spent a lot of time examining the trains at LegoLand MiniLand Some nits.... which should be taken as constructive criticism because in general I LOVED it. - The nonworking switches are very obviously non working.

Eric, If the pivot point on you model was moved to the top then you train would act like a Talgo train. Instead of the top moving inward, the bottom would swing out. The swing of the cars has to be translated to a bending of the joint between the (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
