LRTC - Train Dynamics
Further testing on the passive steering prototypes to see how they might behave as part of a larger train.
If you want to download the .lxf file for the working parts of the chassis including the optional passive steering link you can do so by clicking the link below.

Notes on the download:
Due to some issue with LEGO Digital Designer the centre axle in the passive steering link is not the correct length. It should be 7 studs long not 6 studs as shown in the file.
If using the steering link take a few moments to adjust the length of the link so that both axles centre correctly.
The floating 1x2 plates are the axle deflection stops which prevent excessive movement. These will need to be attached to the underside of whatever chassis you wish to build.
