Abstract
An equalized or compensated suspension system is reproduced in a model of a locomotive and comprises an arrangement of levers and/or dummy leaf springs which are interconnected by links so as to imitate the suspension system of the original locomotive. The model locomotive has a chassis and generally vertically reciprocable wheel axles mounted along the chassis. Springs are disposed in housings fixed to the model's chassis and are arranged to act at opposite ends on the wheel axles and associated levers or dummy leaf springs of the suspension system.
