Can I assume that the wheelbase/spacing of the 0-8-0 tender trucks is shorter than the other Flyer steam engines' tender trucks spacing? Can someone provide measurements for the length of an Atlantic and NKP 0-8-0 tenders? My hunch is the Atlantic gets through crossovers without tripping the reverse because its tender trucks are spread out far enough so that the tender trucks don't lose contact with metal rails on either side of the intersection (which is all plastic/bakelite to prevent shorts from occurring).
