ok, the wheels aren't connected with axels. So does this make it good for low-floor trains then - the gangway could pass between the wheels where there is no axel, if there were no seats above the wheels? --martianlostinspace 16:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talgo 350

We need a reference to validate this phrase: "Talgo has also entered the high-speed train manufacturing market. "Talgo 350" trains will be operating at a top speed of 350 km/h" I have visited various websites and they state that the Talgo max speed will be 350 km/h but the question is to verify if it is being used at that speed and we need proper reference for that. The max speed for HST are 320 km/h in Korea and East line to Strasbourg in France.

solved: This series of trains are designed to reach a speed of 350 km/h (220 mph), although present lines and commercial services limit the speed at 330 km/h (210 mph).--Pechristener1 (talk) 01:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid-Barcelona_high-speed_rail_line#Speed) seem to provide contradictory information. Gokaydince (talk) 14:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tilting

When did Talgo introduce tilting ? I have found the information that it was at the end of the 70's. (Laurentien 22:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Talgo Pendular is the first tilting generation.--Pechristener1 (talk) 01:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split

This article is best split into Talgo the company and Talgo the train. There isn't much about the train at present. Wongm (talk) 04:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

good idea--Pechristener1 (talk) 01:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weird Nose

What's with the weird nose on the Talgo 350 power car? Very curious.
