I’m looking for any information on wheel arrangement for my Hiawatha tender. I had the wheels off to clean and lube and now I can’t remember the wheel arrangement on the trucks. Insulated vs Non-insulated sides of the axles. Are all the insulated wheels on one side like my Rivarossi?
They all pick up on the same side. That said ,you have a 50 50 chance of getting it right the first try.
I think if you put the wheels on with the insulators on the same side as the Rivarosi you probably have a 100% chance of getting them installed correctly the first time.
Generally, the uninsulated sides goes on the right, or engineers side.
Mike.
Thanks for all the replies. I matched what was on my Rivarossi and it worked great. Really appreciate the help.
Incidentally, on the A-class Atlantics the six-wheel Commonwealth truck is in front, under the bunker, and the four-wheel truck is in the rear.
