Re: Railways

NM (never.opened@xxxxxxx) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

12 of November

And that'd be which year?

1968

So even that's hardly "the early 60s" - against your claim that we were
"still building steam engines" - which we stopped in early 1960.

That was the first with gague changing wheels.

I'm sure.

It was more the "Pendular" tilting-train bit I was querying, though.

<woosh>

Yes, that's the sound a high speed train makes. Congratulations.

Sorry, but I don't find wheels which can be used on subtly different track
gauges massively exciting as a technical advance.

You are aware that Talgo is just a train manufacturer, right? And that the
Pendular tilters aren't the only trains they've ever built?
