Abstract

This invention relates to steering links (19) for bogies (11) and to wagons (10) incorporating such bogies, a variable length steering link (19) assembly for a bogie including an elongate link (22) having a generally T-shaped head (23) at each end and an anchor (24) for each end, wherein each anchor defines an axially extending chamber (30) for slidably receiving a respective head an a compression spring (31) wherein in one chamber the spring acts on the end fact of its associated head and in the other chamber the spring acts on the back face of its associated head.
