Cool engine G...

That's a smart design feature to have flangeless inner drivers so that the engine is not limited by curve radius. Especially nice crossbracing on your wooden trestle bridge.

Thanks.

Most larger steam locos have blind (flange-less) drivers. It's a bit unusual on smaller locos like this one. But it is nice to be able to take the tighter radii if needed.

I had a Fujiyama brass K-36 that was absolutely gorgeous but had to sell it because it had no blind drivers and it would bind on my 22" radii. My wye has 16" radii and fortunately my BS K-27's can manage that with no trouble. The wye is the smallest radius on my layout (basically so I could fit it) the rest are 22" or larger.
