Hi Markey The "front pony truck" is a bogie (just wanting to discuss the same thing. It looks like this  It is held in place by one shouldered screw A flat spring with 6 tongues ensure a ground return through the bogie (2 center ones pointed in red). 4 tongues ensure an appropriate pressure of the bogie on the rails(four external ones pointedf in blue). If the bogie wheels dont rotate easily, then - the bearings need cleaning and light lubrication - the center tongues press too much on the axles - the wheelset is partly disengaged from the bogie plastic chassis Cheers Jean |
