This paper will review in detail the origin of a technical performance specification for locomotive bogies. It will draw attention for the need to balance safety and performance criteria, infrastructure constraints, design standards and maintenance requirements, whilst giving the contractor scope for innovative design. The paper will then go on to examine two existing bogie designs and compare their known performance in respect to modern criteria. Probable areas for further development will be highlighted.
