[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by nfmisso 3 cylinder locomotives usually have cranks offset by 120° (360/3) not 60°. [/quote] You are correect about the 120 degrees. I was considering the puffing rate when I said 60 degrees. They puff six times per rev, but the actual offset for the cranks should be 120 degrees.
