The railway vehicle body has sections moved on rollers. On each side of the loading platform (3), and below it, are support rails (15) for two or more sections. At least one rail is on bearings. Racks (9) can move in each direction and have rollers at their ends. The racks are joined to the drive by a shaft with toothed wheels, supported by the platform. The rollers have grooves. The two body sides (6, 7) rest on these rollers and have roofs connected by a strip of flexible material.
