I am thinking of building a 4-4-0 steam locomotive using BBB wheels.
If I was to use the small flanged train wheel as the front wheels then the
driver as the driven wheels (with a connecting rod linking them), what
would I need?
Would I need drivers for both pairs of wheels or would I need blind drivers
for one pair?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make a steam
cylinder/connecting rods that goes with this model and looks good?
