I'm not a big fan of steam but this looks very sweet.
One question I have about the drive train, the distance between the
front and back pivot points needs to be shorter when going around a
curve than when you're on a tangent.
How do you accomodate that? Or os there a sliding link somewhere in the
connection between the pilot truck and the drivers or the drivers and
the trailing truck that is not obvious?
