Hello everyone,
If anyone owns or knows about this set, can you tell me if all the truck wheels are flanged. Or is there one set of wheels on each truck non
flanged. Lionel lists the minimum curve at 031, that would lead me to believe that at least one set of wheels on each truck aren't flanged.
I would appreciate any information . This is one beautiful set of E8 AA diesels, I just watched Rich Batista's video totally awesome.
Thanks, ITEM NUMBER 6-39600

Alex,
All six wheels are flanged. Four wheels are drive wheels and two are not. The non drive wheels float side to side to make the curves.

Alex, if you look at it on the Lionel parts list, it looks like everything is flanged. The number states E-9 but it comes up with your number. I have a set pf PRR E-7 if you want me to flip them over.
Thanks guys,
I'm surprised that these E8's can navigate 031 curves, they are quite long.

Harry Henning has a set of the E8's. I don't know about O31, I'd be a bit surprised if they didn't have an issue with that diameter curve. I know Lionel's page says that, but I'm still somewhat skeptical. 
I've only seen them run on O72 and larger, they work fine there.
