You may want to stand over there with Duhg, since you are entering into
the same techniques of making up bollocks and asserting that the
bollocks is true.

I'm pointing out a fact, the first tilting trains appeared in 1939. They
were regarded as a disaster and were removed from service, but they did
enter service. They were not made by TALGO, hence I'm agreeing with
Adrian and NM is as Adrian has stated simply refusing to admit his
mistake.
But I am admitting it, I have said the train I saw in 1968 is visually the same as a pendular and having travelled on a sleeper pendular a couple of years ago I assumed they were the same. I hang my head in shame because I was not aware of the trivial differences between the two but when one is passing at speed (and it was almost 40 years ago) it's sometimes difficult to count all the rivits holding on the wobble plate on the middle carriage. The fact that they had the same traction unit also helped in the mistaken identification.


Happy now? you pedantic prat.
