  1. it is available in all the toys shop.


  2. Euro-star trains have bogeys that transverse two coaches

  3. There are several trains which use the common bogie feature between coaches - not just passenger either, but some freight wagons do too.

    Here are some:

    The TGV (France):

    The now defunct UAC Turbotrain (USA):

    The Eurostar (France):

    The long out of service and vintage LNER Quad-art set (Britain):

    The withdrawn British APT (Britain):

    The Talgo trains (Spain):

    That's just a selection, there are others.

  4. Equipment with this type of equipment is usally referred to as "articulated."

    Though no longer used in the US for passenger equipment, this is a very common arrangement for inter modal equipment.

  5. Several countries have experimented with the idea. The U.S.A. first used the "common wheel truck" in the 1950s. It shows up now and then since that time. Budd, and Pullman, would have been the U.S.A. manufacturers.

  6. Sometimes referred to (incorrectly) as Talgo, from Spain.
