The Different Types of Train Wheels

Leading Wheels. These aren't powered and sit in front of the driving wheels. 

 

Driving Wheels. Driving wheels move a steam locomotive through pistons and rods.

 

Piston valves are one form of valve used to control the flow of steam within a steam engine or locomotive. They control the admission of steam into the cylinders and its subsequent exhausting, enabling a locomotive to move under its own power.

This train is shown in the middle of the large track picture at the foot of this page.  

 

The running surface of most train wheels is conical - shaped like a cone, at an gentle angle to the upright, which serves as the primary means of keeping the train aligned with the track while in motion. The wheels are fixed on an axle, and when rounding a curve, the mass of the train pushes the wheelset towards the outside of the track.

 

Mass is the amount of matter an object contains. The more matter something has, the more it will weigh. For example, an elephant has more matter in it than a mouse so, its mass is heavier. The size of something does not determine how much matter an object has.

 

 Anything that takes up space is called matter. Air, water, rocks, and even people are examples of matter. Different types of matter can be described by their mass. The mass of an object is the amount of material that makes up the object.
