Here is my attempt to begin a model of a likeness of a Talgo passenger train
set. The train may be bland, but the focus of this work has been to create a
working shared monoaxle wheelset between adjacent passenger cars.
The train cars are close coupled using the Technic spring-brick technique.
The shared monoaxle wheelset is rigidly attached to a "beam" that connects two
Technic spring-bricks.

I look forward to any comments and suggestions, as well as your own
improvements or radically different ways to achieve a Talgo-like shared
monoaxle train set.
(I'd like to see some better color schemes, too! Like the Amtrak Northwest
corridor Talgo!)
later,
James Mathis

| NOBODY makes better eurotrash passenger than James. Nobody. Each of his creations tops the last. Wow. A Talgo train! Who would have thunk it. What a clever mechanism. And in only 6 wide to boot. Now pendularize it! :-) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Hey, that train has a black nose - what sets did the black nose come in? I need one! Or is it the 4561 nose/plate? (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
