Tilting Triumph - X2000

God Morgon! :D

As something of a counterpart to my earlier video on the failure of the Advanced Passenger Train or APT, British Rail's sadly fruitless endeavour to create an express multiple unit with an active tilting system, we turn our attention now to a tilting train done right with Sweden's X2000, an answer to geographical problems caused by the nation's largely mountainous terrain that precluded high speed running in the same manner as other European countries, and led ultimately to a superbly built and extremely comfortable series of electric multiple units that have been the pride of Sweden's passenger network for over 30 years, and even saw great interest garnered in potential export models across the globe by rail operators in America and Australia.
