A Very good lateral veiw of the Loco. It seems to have 4 sets of wheels.By the design it seems that this Loco can really cut sharp corners. It is a pity that it is used only for shunting and not for sharp corners in Hilly areas.

Sunny,the WDS4b has three sets of wheels.From a distance it looks like four because one is a flywheel which runs the other three sets with the help of shafts(not sure the name given to them-same drive as used in a steam loco).
