That Western Star looks very silly with only inside wheels on the two axles that are on the tracks, is there any reason why they couldn't just do like the yellow truck in the other picture and have outside wheels too?

cause that truck is a rail truck the other is multipurpose as you can see the western star can move rail cars if it wants to

Hmm, then if the black truck is mostly used on rails, why does it have another axle that is off the tracks in that picture? They can just move the wheels from that axle to the two normal axles, and then the truck will also turn better when in the rail car garage place.

I like the location of the horn. Do ya reckon that that is to tell the oncoming freight trains to get out of the way. lol
