I was very impressed to find that a 3-in-a-row configuration of the BBB
wheels with flanges can pass through track curves: allowing the center wheel
set to translate in/out seems just fine. I haven’t tested through switches.
Also, in the same 3-in-a-row configuration, I connected two adjacent wheels
with the Technic steering arm, using the black Technic 1/2-pin with ball.
The flexure at the ball joints seems OK to still allow the necessary central
axle translation through the curve.

On thing I was wondering with these wheels is how to do a full coupling rod
for rigid six coupled chassis, would this work?

Needs to be deeplinked. This is not a deeplink it doesn’t end in a file
extension... I’ll say I myself haven’t cracked the full crank yet across a 6
couple that doesn’t have a pair of blind drivers, but I’m working on it!

I love the model of the Ae 3/6. the early Swiss locs with their odd wheel
arrangments and cranks are a favorite and I think work well in lego, modern
euro diesels and electrics tend to be difficult to pin down in Lego, they
often end up as boxes because it is difficult to pin down the suble shapes
that give them their character.

Yes. Early electrics do have a lot of character!

| (...) I tried posting on this subject over the weekend, but of course Lugnet was in a 'funk'... I was eyeballing a set of three of the BBB wheels as they went around "those pesky tight Lego curves". I looks like you'll need about one brick of 'play' (...)
