how exactly would it do that with with a common shaft between the wheels?

edit: if this conversation is moving to a place where i can use my model train knowledge, im back in!

so you dont know what a drive wheel is?



unfortunately, learning doesn't stop because you learned a theory or read a book or had a teacher who was tired of dealing with your crap.

I understand how a train runs quite well.

But let me ask the question more simply, do you believe that a train has a separate engine for the left side of wheels as it does for the right side of wheels? If not how would you explain more power getting applied to one side of the track?

Additionally do you believe that this same mysterious defect presents itself in every model model of train? despite the fact that models and styles of trains vary greatly?

So your idea of how things works is based on your playing with train sets as a kid?

It's beyond clear that Einstein's DESCRIPTION of gravity is extremely flawed,
and society has yet to come upon an explanation ~better than mine~


At least he's trying, you crooks keep trying to trap him in tangents about train engines and shit.
Just feelin' pretty mighty as a parrots of bogus information because it panders to the matrix.
You're new around here, what brought you?

I am a collector of model trains, not fake neon kid trains. My o scale train has a fairly equivalent drive setup to the full sized train it represents, minus the coal engine plus an electric one. Now if i was a HO scale or even N scale collector I could understand your doubts. I mean we all know that those HO and N scale guys don't really have anything on us O and G scale guys when it comes to realistic train components. That's why they always claim to be superior at scenery, LOL!

What is your answer to my question though? Do you believe that a train applies a different amount of power to one side of the tracks than it does to the other? If so, how does it do this?

that's pretty sick for an HO layout

I know he needs to build a movie set

A drive wheel is a wheel of a motor vehicle that transmits force, transforming torque into tractive force from the tires to the road, causing the vehicle to move. The powertrain delivers enough torque to the wheel to overcome stationary forces, resulting in the vehicle moving forwards or backwards.[1][2]

A two-wheel drive vehicle has two driven wheels, typically both at front or back, and a four-wheel drive has four.

Friction torque is the torque caused by the frictional force that occurs when two objects in contact move. Like all torques, it is a rotational force which may be measured newton metres or pounds-feet.

Engineering
Friction torque can be disruptive in engineering. There are a variety of measures engineers may choose to take to eliminate these disruptions. Ball bearings are an example of an attempt to minimize the friction torque.

Friction torque can also be an asset in engineering. Bolts and nuts, or screws are often designed to be fastened with a given amount of torque, where the friction is adequate during use or operation for the bolt, nut or screw to remain safely fastened. This is true with such applications as lug nuts retaining wheels to vehicles, or equipment subjected to vibration with sufficiently well attached bolts, nuts or screws to prevent the vibration from shaking them loose.



So theres all that or just go with coriallis effect, i really dont care
