ABSTRACT:
A rail vehicle assembly comprises two vehicles each with single wheelsets, and a third vehicle, also with a single wheelset, which serves to interconnect the first two vehicles and which in use exerts a steering action on the first two vehicles. The third vehicle is located between the first two vehicles and is pivotally connected thereto in such a way that the three vehicles can align themselves with the rail track, while negotiating a curve, so that all the wheelsets are maintained at all times substantially on radial lines of the curve.
