Re: Indian Roads Thread
Cannot get the images out of mind since yesterday. I was diving on 6 lane NH1 yesterday & the slow driving trucks/tractors have a habit of being in the right most lane. They will get in the rightmost lane & drive without any hinderance to themselves. But the problem for fast moving cars get ...

Re: Indian Railways Thread (Dec 2015)
For Talgo the same no is 22 wheels. Downside is though that the length of each coach is shorter by a few meters. How feasible would it be to make up the shortfall by adding extra coaches? Would again affect the speed. If you see a Talgo 300+ kmph train, they've 4 coaches with 2 engines on both ends...

Re: Indian Railways Thread (Dec 2015)
Talgo is only sending its coaches & not the engines. Engines that would be used, would be Indian Railways. The difference in speed in both the cases even though while using the same IR engines is that IR's current coaches use 8 wheels for each coach in 2 sets of 4 each. Each set of 4 wheels is a...
