Reply to "Lionel 4-4-0 brass hybrids (Jupiter and #119) and O-36 switches"

The distance between the two driver axles is not that different than on an 0-4-0 steam engine - which needs 4 flanged drive wheels. So, why were flanges omitted on this model? And why was a conventional front truck mounting with a download coil spring not used? Is there enough pivot on the tender trucks? I would like to see a picture of the underside of this locomotive.
