Trailing Wheel Pick-ups

Postby John Duffy » Wed Apr 01, 2015 1:56 pm

I am looking for ideas to provide pick-ups on non-powered wheels. I have for example a tender that could potentially provide a source of electrical current, but I don't want to add pick-ups that will cause a great deal of drag. Any suggestions or pictures of working arrangments would be most welcome.

Thanks

John

Split axles, inside bearings and pick up through the bearings?
