Re: 4x4 ?
does the whole axle pivot..unless it just a axle sitting there to hold up the front...maybe..looks a lot like a rear axle
neat old pic here is a 1915 model t 4x4

Re: 4x4 ?
Don't need to steer it.... just set the rims on a railroad track and off you go.
Maybe....

Re: 4x4 ?
My guess is like a skid steer/crawler. I wonder if that's why all the braces. Hard on those spoke wheels, though

Re: 4x4 ?
Maybe not so far fetched. could it be set up to drive on tracks? That could explain the lack of tires

Re: 4x4 ?
Why would you need 4wd to run RR tracks?

Re: 4x4 ?
Poor traction with steel rims on steel rails.... Going up a grade or pulling a load, any advantage helps.

Re: 4x4 ?
looks like a hydro cylinder on the right, maybe it steers the whole axel
