<p>In order to permit a vehicle to be adapted for road or rail travel, an axle (10) is provided with mounting means, e.g hub rotors(12) and wheel centres (30) whereby road wheels (35) and railway wheels (34) may be interchangeably mounted. Moreover, means, such as a dog clutch (19) mounted between half shafts (15) which are fixed to the mounting means (12, 30) enable the wheels to be connected to prevent relative rotation, for rail travel, or to be disconnected to permit relative rotation, for road travel. Alternative connection/disconnection means may comprise a locking differential in the case of a powered axle. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
