I usually don't spend a lot of time building details that can't be seen when the model is on the shelf collecting dust. Thanks for teaching me something I didn't know!

Yea, just mess'n with ya a bit, though if you didn't notice the axles going all the way through it looks like one. Man, for as simple as it is the walking beam is a fantastic set up. Had a buddy put one on his dragon wagon trailer and he can go over "G" scale track with beers on the back and not spill a sip!! Again, great job on this.
