Hello.

I downloaded Peter's PRR T1 6111 steam locomotive. I got stuck at the ORTSSteamEngines block. The ORTSSteamEngines block can contain one or more Steam ( ) blocks. The value of AttachedAxle ( 0 ) in the Steam ( ) block is as follows in the manual
" ``AttachedAxle`` - the axle wheelset that the steam engine is attached to. "
According to the machine translator, here you need the number of the shaft to which the crank is connected. This is the fourth axis. If I count only the driven and connected axles, then the second axle. According to the downloaded example locomotive, this number is a simple serial numbering, which starts from zero and increases continuously. Each Steam ( ) block gets a higher number by one.
What is the truth?

Sincerely, Laci 1959
