Hello Geoff,
I have used flex rods as push rods , with the centre axel moving sideways.
It works really well. But it needs a fare bit of weight above the drive
wheels.to work fully (this was fixed when I put the train body ontop.) Sorry
I have no pictures that show this in great detail on brickshelf.I hope to
have some up soon . Have you seen Ross Neals Idea ? I really like his idea
for push rods !

I had already admired your 4-6-2 chassis Teunis, but unfortunately my Lego
collection doesn’t run as far as flexrods!
I have managed an articulated 4-6-2 chassis of my own using BBB wheels with the
view of trying to create a 6-wide LNER Mallard lococmotive, but the inability to
connect the drivers is very frustrating!
I’ll just have to perseverve and just do the best I can with what I have.
Regards,
Geoff
