These are really nice looking.

The wheel geometry came from a collaboration between
Dan Parker (PNLTC) and James Mathis about 3 years ago (thanks guys).

Aside:
What amazed me back then was that Dan and I coincidentally worked these up;
at first not knowing the other was working on a similar project!  This
tri-axle project is likely what really motivated me to jump on an airplane
from Albuquerque to Seattle for a very whirl-wind weekend trip to my first
show of the PNLTC.  That trip was awesome!  Whoah, 3 years ago.  And to
remind me of that on what is today my birthday, 33 years.  3 years
ago...33...I'd better go home before something "happens".  ;-)

I first
saw this when Dan showed us and I couldn't believe the center wheel, "how
weird", but cool to model for something different. A simple design but
captures the essence. I can't seem to find any images of these on-line,
anyone over in Europe have a link?

I've gotta "hand" it to you, Steve, these look great.  ;-)
