Art, Jeff, et al: >Aster had with the combination of a blind & sprung driver (K-4) the driver would drop of the rail if track work was not "perfect"<
Good point, I can see that happening. The original RH #24 was designed to go around the tightest LGB curves and it did although it took extra throttle to overcome the binding. I never observed if the center drivers were overhanging the railhead. In any case, my center drivers are a few thou off the rail so there was never a problem. I guess this makes the engine a 2-2-2-2-2 :>) Presumably the folks at RH will address this issue before release. Jim
