I suppose I should try to model this wedge. Hmmm....

That sounds nice. A view I have never had.

I have been most inspired by Markus Strick's Ticket Center 6-wide models.
He has built an InterCity in red and white. He has built a very nice cabin
nose without the Metroliner piece. Perhaps his method could be used in your
8-wide?

I have tried to imagine a different steering on the Talgo cars. It is
difficult to imagine this articulation without motion and real reaction.
Here are some cross-sectional views of the construction:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=16885
- The cars are not close-coupled.
- I don't know how the last wheel in the end-car be turned and guided
through a curve. Maybe not at all, I think. Maybe the shared wheels won't
guide well through curves, either. I just don't know.
- I have no more Technic 1x2 black/white spring bricks, but I do have a few
of the Technic shock absorbers as shown above. So, I have tried to think
how to use what parts I have.
later,
James Mathis
