Does someone has an idea how to solve the problem with bogies (on the picture), which are placed in this way. You can see that carriages share bogies. Although I have made a few locomotives this is something entirely new for me. On the picture is EMU.

well a interesting problem. I guess if you was making the EMU as one complete model, that would not be a worry, however that would seem pointless if you can not increase the size of the train.
How about building the end unit as a model. with one bogie. And the centre unit as a model, without bogies. Then build the shared bogie as a model in its own right, so you would then just build a consist in RW of say end unit – bogie- centre unit – bogie – centre unit – bogie – end unit (reversed)???
You would not be limited to train size then.
I tried but no success. I think the problem is becouse the bogie pivot and unit pivot share the same value. Here’s picture and video…

The problem was in pivot point of real and fake bogie than was in same point. The pivot of fake bogie must be a bit (0.50 m) shorter then real bogie. So, now is OK

ok, well we can expect you to write up a How to for this thenm explaining how to go about it. Feel free to send it to me should you need some tidy up with the translations. <!– s:geek: –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_geek.gif" alt=":geek:" title="Geek" /><!– s:geek: –>
