A small wheel in
position
The axle that holds the front wheels is easy to make using basic shapes. Using
Figures 4.91 and 4.92 as guides, build the axle assembly using simple poly shapes made
with primitives and a few subdivision tools and extrusions.
The steam pumps provide drive power to the wheel arms, which in turn rotate the
wheels to move the locomotive. These pumps are located on the sides of the engine
between the small wheels and the first of the large wheels. They connect down from
the boiler and through a drive mechanism to the first set of large wheel on both sides.
