Alleen de pendolino (7418) kantelt, de andere NIET.
In werkelijkheid was het rijtuig profiel van de 614 ook aangepast om "ooit" te kunnen kantelen, maar voor zover ik weet hebben ze dat nooit gedaan.
Na wat verder graven lijkt wikipedia dit te bevestigen!

Deutsche Bahn started tests with tilting trains in Germany with its class 634 in 1967 when some class 624 DMUs were equipped with passive tilting systems. As the passengers experienced motion sickness, the tilting technology was disabled and later removed. The tests continued with the prototypes of the following class 614 units, but due to the again unsatisfying results the serial types were delivered without tilting system.

The West German federal railways DB experimented with tilting technology in the 1970s, but abandoned it. Then in 1987, DB commissioned a study on whether electrification or purchasing diesel tilting trains would be the better option for the Nuremberg-Hof line, and decided for the latter. In 1988, DB ordered 10 tilting DMUs, and another 10 in 1990. All 20 trains of the new DB Class 610 were delivered in 1992. The two-car trains with a top speed of 160 km/h were produced by a consortium of five German companies and Fiat Ferroviaria.[6] Fiat supplied the bogies, the hydraulic tilting suspension, and the other parts of the tilting technology, thus the trains could be called Pendolino (a Fiat trademarked brand name).[7]

Er zijn dus zo te lezen experimentele modellen geweest van de 614 die wel tilten. Misschien kan ik het rijtuig van de 614 (7430/7431) overzetten op het onderstel van de 610 (7418) en zo een experimentele pendolino 614 maken als ik 's wat unieks wil! (maar eerst 's wat rails leggen

)
