| | | Congratulations, Esben! Thats a fine looking train. I find the tilt mechanism very interesting! Only one other tilt train I know of is James Mathis' APT, which from what I know, uses a similar mechanism. It's a pity that this doesn't have interiors, (...)

| | | | (...) Samarth, perhaps you missed this one: (URL) A 4-car British Pendolino, using bevel gears for the tilt. This means it can cope well with double bends (the Hornby APT rises up on double bends because it relies on a tilted curved track on which (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | (...) A long time ago there was an example of another kind of active tilt (this QSR one uses gravity, near as I can tell) posted by, IIRC, Eric Brok. (URL) That one used 45 degree sloped pivots to force turns as the cars went through curves. VERY (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) I built a tilting train many years ago based loosely on the 4559 and used this principle - 2x2 turntables angled on hinges. I still have some paper pics somewhere. The design used leading bogies at the front to effect the tilt and a passive (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)

I suppose this is the price of animated funtionality in trains.... even 8 wide scale isn't enough sometimes. I've been toying (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
