minus-squarech00f@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·4 days agoConical wheels don’t work if the wheels can move independently. There’s nothing to stop the car from rotating and falling between the tracks.
minus-squareHolla@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·4 days agoYou’re partially right: independently moving wheels don’t have the self-steering effect that a solid axle would have. But: the wheels in this picture do have a flange on their inner sides that will prevent the car from derailing
