Building a 4 wheel Diseal loco problems

I don't seem to be able to find anywhere how to make the wheelset for a 4 wheel diseal loco. Is it just the same naming conventions as a wagon wheelset ? Will it animate automatically like a wagon ? I am sure I read somewhere that driving wheel have to be animated.

Its for a Lister Narrow Gauge loco so no connecting rods or the like.

It sprob dead obvious but I have looked and looked and can't find the answer

Simple wheels are animated automatically. You just need (self created) animations if you have other objects moving syncronous to the wheel (i.e. drive pistons, coupling rods, steering valves)

So for your diesel loco you should be fine with the build-in wheel rotation.
