I'm just finishing off an Alan Gibson kit for an L&B 2-6-2t. (I purchased it from Alan's stand at NEC Warley in 2001, which may be some kind of record for slow work!).
Anyway, given the short coupled wheelbase and long overhangs on the Lynton locos, it would be nice to incorporate some form of side control on the front and rear trucks, so that they do their real-life job of helping steer the loco into curves. However, my initial efforts have merely succeeded in lifting the lead truck's inside wheel off the rail on curves.
Has anyone developed a satisfactory form of pony truck side control for the larger n.g. locos, or is this best consigned to the "too difficult" file?
