The side wheels can be mounted on the outside or inside of the train, depending on the manufacturer (although outside-mounted wheels are more common). The wheels are sometimes located between the cars, as well as at the front and rear of the entire train. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_(roller_coaster) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2013-12-11 23:20:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- HowStuffWorks - Dois tipos de montanha-russa - Crianças - Uol www.criancas.hsw.uol.com.br › Crianças › Parques e passeiosTranslate this page Conheça os dois modelos básicos de montanha-russa e aprenda sobre os ...

Each wheel assembly has three wheels. Underfriction, or up-stop, wheels; tractor, or running, wheels; and side friction wheels. All of these help the train move safely and smoothly. All modern roller coasters have up-stop wheels that hug the bottom of the rail. As their name implies, they prevent the train from coming up off the track. Side friction wheels hug the sides of the rail, either the outside or inside, depending on the track manufacturer. These wheels help the train stay in the center of the two rails to help the train from derailing. The last wheel set are called tractor wheels, or running wheels. Tractor wheels have a simple but important purpose. These wheels bear the weight of the train on the track, keeping the train running on the track. Tractor wheels may lift off the track in when the vertical g-force is zero or negative, but the up-stop wheels keep the train from coming completely off the rails. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster_wheel_assembly -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2013-12-11 23:34:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Roller Coaster Wheel Types | eHow www.ehow.com › Hobbies, Games & Toys Roller coaster wheels, regardless of which of the three types they may be, are ... often steel, which is coated with nylon, hard plastic or rubber on the outside. |
