Yes, but it's still kind of a hurried walk, without the 
four-feet-off-the-ground phase of running or the up-and-down motion of a 
trot.  For many sauropods, I don't doubt that elephants are decent models 
(though diplodocids, with their short arms, must have looked rather different 
when they walked).
