Things get a little more complex with articulated vehicles. For the geometry to work unassisted you would need to have two attachment points on the bogie to ensure that everything centres nicely. I am not really a fan of this because it would impart movement to the coach bodies directly from the bogie, which is not really what happens with real articulated trains. In most instances, these vehicles would have one shared pivot point for both coach body ends with the bogie moving independently underneath. As a result, it needs some help with centring which is achieved using a rubber band.
