ABSTRACT:
A train of articulated vehicles which can be disassembled and assembled readily and to which an articulation mechanism of any conventional structure can be applied universally. A plurality of receiving side vehicle bodies each having one or a pair of receiving side articulating portions and a plurality of received side vehicle bodies each having one or a pair of received side articulating portions are disposed alternately. An articulating truck is disposed at each of the first and last ends of the train and also between each adjacent ones of the receiving and received side vehicle bodies. At the position of each articulating truck, a received side articulating portion of the received side vehicle body is received on a receiving side articulating portion of the receiving side vehicle body which is in turn mounted on the articulating truck. Thus, each received side vehicle body is received on and connected to a pair of receiving side vehicle bodies, and consequently, the train can be separated into three groups by lifting and disassembling only a necessary one of the received side vehicle bodies.
