An articulated railway bogie connector 10 is shown comprising a male connector component 12 and a female connector component 14. The articulated connector 10 is adapted to pivotally mount to a bolster 54 of a railway bogie 50. The male and female connector components 12, l4 are arranged to be welded to a skeletal body of adjacent railway wagons. The male and female connector components 12. 14 each include a pair of constant contact sidebearer outrigger brackets and associated wear plates located. The outrigger brackets such as l6A/B are in the form of a pair of wing members cast integral with and extending laterally of the male connector component 12. However the wing members such as 16A/B may be welded or otherwise formed integral with, in this instance, the male connector component 12. The outrigger brackets or wing members l6A/B and 18A/B are adapted for fixing of a wear plate which is arranged in use to contact corresponding constant contact sidebearers mounted to the articulated bogie 50.
