Anatomy 2
The free-castering axle assembly. These pivot freely around the 2x2 turntable plate and do not require any springing to return them to the centre position.
The red 1x2 plates are the restrictors that are attached to the underside of the body of the wagon to prevent over-articulation. The size, type and position of these can be varied to allow different amounts of articulation depending on wheelbase and minimum curve radius. This configuration works well for my VGA vans which have a 24 stud wheelbase and are required to traverse standard LEGO R40 radius curves.
