Close Coupling Talgo 04
A quick peek between the cars at the mechanism.
The geometry of the articulation is steering the axle in the correct direction to help take the curve. It isn't turned perfectly and is still at a slightly less than optimal angle relative to the curve, which I suspect is due to the unequal length of the cars. However, as the videos show, it does at least enable the train to take an R40 loop without derailing.
