Whoops, wasn't clear, sorry!
I meant TOO MUCH friction and I was worried about the axle centers. That
engine looks unpowered so doesn't need to increase "adhesion" (the technical
term for the kind of desireable friction that keeps driven wheels
transmitting motion to the track rather than spinning). But all those
technic pins for axle centers worry me. I like to build trains that are
dozens of cars long and you have to have free rolling wheels for that to
work. Never mind the fact that an adventurers car wheel will never make it
through a switchpoint without getting hung up...
