The drivers can be turned a few different ways to line them up.

You can take weight off a particular set and use bars to rotate it in place.

You can chalk or chain one set at a time and roll the loco allowing the other wheels to turn and line up. This will drag a set but will not create flat spots.

For us lining up the drivers will come later. We have some tweaking of the suspension yet to do, to compensate for the crown brass work. As well as final adjustments on the shoes and wedges.
