My expierience with big locos

[Schraddel]

And not forgotten, the 4-8-4 D&RGW class M-68:


Here the trailing truck is excellent detailed and the axle bearings are sprung. But the trailing truck tends to wobble, especially when backing at slow speeds. The the lateral motion has had then a wiggling motion.





To cure this, the truck got a horizontal springing system in addition to the vertikal one.





The tender trucks underwent just the same modifications as the ones of the L-105, described at the beginning of this thread. Here of course the tender is from Max Grey and has slightly different truck mountings.





The loco itself got the well proven pick up wipers.
