This may sound stupid, but what does one use to hold the wheels in place?

LOL, this makes me wonder if you’ve even seen a lego train :-P

No, I think he means how do you hold the wheels in place when you have taken
them out of the holder.
One of the most common techniques as I understand it is to use this piece:
You route the axle through the groove and then embed it inside other pieces. If
that is not clear, I think Chris Masi has posted some pics of how he did it. I
think John Neal has too.
As for how to model the axle itself when LDrawing,(1) take a look at part
2878c01.dat and you’ll see it’s composed of 2878 and 2879c01.dat which is a pair
of wheels on the steel axle. (I can’t embed the images for those via FTX since
they’re shortcuts not raw parts, and thus LUGNET doesn’t have the images, I
assume)
So... just use 2879c01.dat ... That should do the trick for you. Hope that
helps.
1 - insert “LOL, this makes me wonder if you’ve ever looked at an LDraw
subassembly” here, except that I don’t think that’s an appropriate comment when
trying to be helpful...
