Train carriage with 2 bogies following a path
#1
Wink 
Hi

For a train simulation, I'd like the carriages to follow a spline path.

Train carriages generally have two bogies upon which the carriage pivots, which are a fixed distance from one another.

However if the train is not on straight track the arc length between the bogies on the curve will be variable, so simply traversing the curve twice with an offset won't work

   

I can't find any trivial solutions to this problem. Any suggestions welcome!
