   The utilisation of traditional freight wagons was often so low that tires never needed renewal, so it was cheaper to fit a one-piece ("monoblock") wheel. Monoblock wheels are lighter and offer better integrity as there is no tire to come loose. Modern flow-line repair lines are disrupted by the inspection of the wheel centre once the tire is ...

   Coupled wheels (UK+) Wheels coupled to the main/side rods, through which the power developed in the cylinders (24) is transformed into tractive power at the rails. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 5 ] [ 3 ] : 28 The weight of bearings and coupling rods on the driving wheels is counterbalanced with cast-in weights to reduce "hammering" on the track when the ...
