Its rather like a cradle; the faulty wheel sits in the cradle, and is lifted slightly off the rail surface, much smaller 'truck wheels' run each side of the faulty wheel, the train can be moved at slow speed to a depot...

Back when I was a DMT I used to take trainees for incident training and I put together a powerpoint presentation showing each stage of the process backed up by photo's that I took of the real thing. I also got under a train and photographed the skates from all angles. I'm not back in the office now until next Thursday, but if I can dig it out I will perhaps bring it along to the next forum meet so you can all see it happening if your interested.

There's some info and a few pictures on this page of Dave's site (scroll about halfway down the page).  |

Thanks, that clearly explains it. Car skates work on the same basic principle.
