[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TBlack: [qb] Question: what's the definition of Talgo? It seems like there's no standard appearance, other than being a light-weight car; and does it refer just to the rolling stock or to the motive power as well? [/qb][/QUOTE]The Talgo cars ride lower to the rails, each car is shorter than a conventional car, and two cars share a single truck where they join together. The sharing of the truck is where the tremendous weightsavings comes in. Personally, I've ridden the Cascades talgo and found them to be far more pleasant of a ride than anything Amfleet.......had to do with the huge windows. [/QB][/QUOTE]
