I know that I, like any OTHER motorman, have left crescents in the iron and flats on the wheels doing the best I could. Gears are nice - there's a meshing thing that happens with them that makes the cogs in the wheel go round and round. Railroads are a bit more ... well ... dynamic ... as far as "science goes" ... contact area of an 80 ton car is a little LESS than a dime on each wheel tread. Most of the time, they turn. Sometimes they don't. :) |
