(...) Think of it as a physics problem, since that is what it is. If the two connecting rods (one each side) are at 180 or 0 to each other, then when one is at a end, the other is at end as well. When you push on one or the other of them, nothing (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That may be (as lar said) because it's a static display. (...) No the counterbalance is only to balance (as much as possible) the weight of the connecting rod and bearing on the wheel. You'll notice the counter weight is much larger on the (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
