It looks like every red wheels axle is coupled with an axle of these small wheels to form a bogie (truck in USA),and every bogie is coupled to previous one. I'll copy this idea in my spoked wheel locos. (I'm planning something similar to english steamer LMS 46229 "Duchess of Hamilton") Ciao Gianluca

(...) That's a pretty neat way of doing it. I tried this before (without the tyres though), but couldn't get it all to fit close enough together whilst still being flexible enough to get round corners. Congratulations to Robin for making it work. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic)
