Yes, they sit on the flanges. They sink slightly into the plywood floor where parked until the truck sideframe rides on the furring strip.Harold_V wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 1:45 amDo I understand you correctly, that the cars/tender/engine all sit on the flanges when being transported?jabsteam wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 10:02 pm instead of rails that 3/16" flanges can easily hop off of, I use wood "furring strips" that are 1/2" thick and screw them into the floor on the outside of the wheels. The wheels ride on the floor between the furring strips, and it takes a LOT to bounce over that 1/2" furring strip.

The track/trough that the engines ride on got grooved pretty good over 5 years use, so I lined that track with 1"x 1/16" flat stock that the flanges ride on now.
