the wheels (drivers) are underscale.

simulates the truck sideframe members, spring hangers and other stuff).

The central wheel from the 12V train motors comes off by simply pushing it upward, yo then fit the wider hub into the top of the hole in the middle of the 9V motor, and push it down. It allows a 6 wheel setup. They don't exactly match, but if it is (...) (24 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
