A self steering railway bogie to run on a railway track having two opposed rails, the bogie having a pair of axle sets (4, 7) one at each end, each axle set having a pair of wheels (2, 3 and 5, 6) at opposite sides thereof, each wheel (2, 3, 5, 6) being independently rotatable on an axle, the wheels of at least one axle set having contours on the periphery thereof such that, on being displaced laterally with respect to the other axle set and relative to the centre line of the track, one wheel will rise and the other will fall with respect to the wheels of said second axle set whereby said one axle set becomes tilted with respect to said second axle set, this tilt being applied to steer one or both axle sets. |
