Abstract
A wheel and axle assembly for railway vehicles has a pair of brake discs mounted on the axle and each brake disc comprises a hub which is force-fitted on a portion of the axle and a friction disc member mounted on the hub. Each of the hubs is axially offset with respect to the central radial plane of its respective friction disc member. The brake discs are juxtaposed in mirror-image relationship to each other with the end faces of the hubs axially remote from the respective friction disc members being substantially in contact with each other.
