Two questions for the engineers in our midst:

1. I understand Talgo trains go through gauge changing apparatus. How does
this operate? Would it be valid in Australia? (If it's not the Talgos, then
it's certainly the case with freight cars - sorry goods wagons).

2. Is there any reason why a Talgo car concept can't be built with
articulated 2-axle bogies or as standalone cars with 2 two-axle bogies -
noting that some of the car length would become unavailable for passengers.
