The normal one I have heard (& read) about them being called is blind drivers.
Certanly more than just the 9F Starship had blind drivers- at least one british
0-4-4 had a blind trailing axle too...figure that one out. CPR 2-8-0's that
were conversions of 0-8-0's do too- the one in Sandon, BC, has a blind axle.
Our 0-8-0 in 3.5" has a blind driver, but it didn't start life that way. It
turns out that derailing @ speed tends to break cast iron wheels...and no, I
wasn't the responsible party.
