Also, the ball-and-socket elements are "swapped". I'm certainly not sure if this different geometry behaves any better when being pulled or pushed. My 3-car set of this design is now deconstructed. Any chance you cars can accommodate this tri-axle set up? I haven't compared the overall length and wheel separation between the 3 wheels. Maybe that is also different between our designs? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamathis/Trains/TrainsOther/TriWheel/v1/triwheel_v1_p1.gif http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamathis/Trains/TrainsOther/TriWheel/v1/triwheel_v1_p2.gif http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamathis/Trains/TrainsOther/TriWheel/v1/triwheel_v1_p3.gif http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamathis/Trains/TrainsOther/TriWheel/v1/triwheel_v1_p4.gif And, gallery folder with .dat file after moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31122 This tri-axle wheelset fits beneath a standard 6x24 train baseplate with the two bogie plates located at the farthest ends of the train baseplate-- still allowing bogie plate rotation. Recognizably, the lower location (underside 9v train wheel) of the ball-and-socket elements in my design is not ideal. Although never a problem of falling off during running, I like that your design puts the ball-and-socket plates in the top slot of the 9v train wheels. later, James Mathis

OK, Here you go... (URL) have heard of the translating center wheelset within 3 a axle bogie to irradicate the planer issuses thru curves. Great idea, can you repost a link to that. I'd love to see it and it would make for a good url trail on this (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
