By inserting multiple "Axle" sections in the above configuration, multiple
indpependent wheelsets can be defined which will operate independently of
each other. The following parameters can be inserted to characterise the
performance of the wheelset.

``AnimatedParts`` - animated parts associated with the axles wheelset.
``Weight`` - weight on the axles in the wheelset.
``ORTSRadius`` - radius of the wheels in the wheelset.
``NumberWheelAxles`` - number of axles in the wheelset.

Steam Locomotives with Multiple Engines
.......................................

Some steam locomotives can have multiple steam engines (ie separate steam
cylinders connected to different wheels), such as the 4-4-4-4 locomotive or
an articulated Garrat locomotive.

To configure these types of locomotives configurations for multiple steam
engines need to be added to the engine section of the ENG file, would have the
following format::

ORTSSteamEngines ( x
Wheelset (
)
)

where x = number of steam engines fitted to locomotive.

The following parameters can be used to configure the steam engine::

``NumCylinders`` - number of steam cylinders in engine.
``CylinderStroke`` - stroke of steam cylinder.
``CylinderDiameter`` - diameter of steam cylinder.
``MaxIndicatedHorsepower`` - maximum indicated horsepower of steam engine.
``AttachedAxle`` - the axle wheelset that the steam engine is attached to.

To specify the engine as a Booster engine the following additional parameters
can be used::

``BoosterCutoff`` - the cutoff point for the Booster steam cylinder.
``BoosterThrottleCutoff`` - the locomotive cutoff point where the Booster unlatches.
``BoosterGearRatio`` - the gear ratio of the Booster engine.
``AuxiliarySteamEngineType`` - by inserting "Booster" into this parameter the
engine is defined as a Booster engine.
