Is there a way of Traction Engines to do 360s
I have the Chain with springs on a few of my engines,I’m Almost tempted to use rubber bands.

Not sure what you mean but you can only turn left or right so far and then
the front wheels hit the boiler.

No, what I mean is when I adjust the steering wheel to do 360s, the wheel keeps changing positions, so that makes it impossible to do 360s.

I never tried this however it should work.

You can rig the steering axle in position using mechanics wire (thin wire).

If for Wilesco with steering, I would still rig the front axle to override the loose chains on the factory steering.

Glad to see you are still having fun!
