<font face="times new roman,times" size="4">I am building a model of a rod drive electric engine. Are the drivers quartered the same as on a steam locomotive, or does it really matter? The engine is being built at 1 1/2" to the foot scale and will be driven by an electric motor. On a steamer, quartering is necessary or the engine would not be able to self start, but on an electric, there is one power source.</font>
