Wow! I gave up on that a long time ago. My solution was bulky and looked dumb
because I couldn't get it close coupled (not to mention my color scheme was a
absolutely hideous).

Great detail shots. It is always nice to learn how to do the stuff you do. I
think white with blue highlights and the blue windows from 4561 would make a jaw
dropping 4561 conversion.

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!)
