The DLR internal project "Next Generation Train" (NGT) deals with a high-speed train in a double-deck configuration. To realize the two continuous floors, a single wheel running gear configuration is selected. Equipped with independently rotating wheels instead of a usual wheel-set, a track guidance control becomes necessary. In terms of an advanced control and observer development the implementation of validated simulation models is absolutely essential. Therefore, the paper gives a short overview of the hardware of the scaled Experimental Running Gear on the DLR roller rig representing the NGT single wheel running gear. Using the DLR RailwayDynamics Library three different models of the running gear are implemented, which vary in complexity and can be used for different analysis methods. Finally, some significant simulation results of the particular simulation models are presented and discussed.
