this must be APT-P coach 48204, a trailer second modified to take two BT32 non-articulated bogies. originally it had two BT11(?) articulated bogies which it shared with neighbouring coaches. modified as a test car for a proposed APT-U project (essentially same vehicles in different formation) - see http:/apt-p.com for full details

Keith,
Did you mean "modified to take two BT12 non-articulated bogies".

apologies david!
i'm sure i remember reading it somewhere as BT32 - i knew the BT12 non-articulated bogie already existed, i assumed this was a modified versh to fit under this coach
sorry! ;-)

did the BT11 bogies pre date the ones on the French TGVs and if so did they use our technology to design their bogies
