>>1753266Looks like the axle box committed sudoku. Bad regardless of the kind of bogie you're running.
>>1753363>They also avoid the parts of the cars sticking out of the space between bogies, which is an advantage in terms of ride comfort in high-speed trains apparantlyNot sure how much of a difference it makes to sit in the overhang compared to between the bogies when it comes to lateral accelerations, but the articulated design does wonder for noise levels. You rarely sit right on top of the bogies in a TGV and in those that have seats over the bogies in the first and last coach of the set, you do notice the difference.
Fun fact: By the French definition of a Jacobs bogie, it supports two adjacent coaches, either through two separate secondary suspension sets or through a bolster carrying two sets of pivot and slide plates.
TGV bogies are mechanically linked to a single coach, the second coach being linked to the first one through a single hook and five dampers, making those bogies not-Jacobs.
From what I gather that difference doesn't exist in English.
