My 'Challenger' model is a 4-6-6-4, using Ben's wheels in two sets of "6". You
have to de-flange the middle wheels in each set in order to allow them to slide
inside and outside the rails around the corners.
If you try to keep the flanges on the middle wheels, you'd have to build in a
LOT more flexibility than if you just cut the flange away.
And I just realized I haven't posted any pictures of the Challenger with the new
wheels! D'oh! I'll try to get some up on Brickshelf soon.
