(...) Very nice, and technically very interesting. The only comment I'd make is that, while your model is very cool, the power cars on the real tilt train don't actually tilt, only the passenger cars do. Allister (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) In your movie #4, the train goes through much of the last turn with the wrong tilt..., like the last car got "stuck" in the previous tilt. Is something jamming? Great work! :] KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203 (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)
