What's the 4-1-1 on wheel alignment? Toy enthusiasts often identify toy locomotives by the configuration of their wheels, known as wheel alignment. A 2-4-2 locomotive, for example, has two pilot wheels (for steering) in front, four drive wheels (for power) in the middle, and two trailing wheels (for balance).
