Yes, adding a wheel that runs on top of the rail to support the weight is what I'd like to do. The problem is keeping things compact enough that it can still negotiate the corners. Infact it might be possible to drop one pair of drive wheels and put a support wheel in its place. I haven't really tested the traction requirements to know if two pair of drive wheels is really required. Derek
