It's also why they are blind. If a 6-coupled engine had flanges on all wheels it'd need a lot bigger radius than most of us have room for. <br />Blind drivers were common on prototype locos for the same reason, especially those used in tight areas, eg, shunting etc. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This presents an interesting idea for Scientific Locos, on all those "sow's ears" every wheel is flanged. If I filed down the flange, do you think it might handle the switches better?
