The design uses a single axled bogie , usually known as a pony truck , whose pivot is towards the centre of the locomotive. As a result, the Bissell axle is not only able to turn about its vertical axis, but also to swing radially to the side, something which is necessary on steam locomotives because their position on the track is dictated by the Driving wheel driving or coupled wheels. The pony truck can move radially around a real or a virtual pivot. When the pivot is situated at a point inside the truck, the truck is called a bogie. When it is placed outside to the rear or fore, the truck is called a Bissel. ref Railway Wonders of the World Eds Clarence Winchester & Cecil J.
