2 unusual facts about Articulated vehicle


Articulated vehicle

Steam locomotives were sometimes articulated in that the driving wheels could pivot around turns.

One of the first examples of articulated railway carriages were used by London and North Eastern Railways in Great Britain on their London Suburban Trains in the mid-1920s ; these trains (rolling stock) were designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built at the LNER's Doncaster Works.
