I think you mean "bogie" plates.  Bogie is another term for truck, or simply
the wheels.  The 4x6 plate with a pin that holds the truck to the train
plate is called the bogie plate.

That would be true, if LD had listed bogie plates for sale, but they
haven't.  They have listed boogie plates though, and the picture, I admit,
looks suspiciously like a bogie plate. ;)

Maybe dancing trains is what you guys aren't allowed to tell us about from
the Train Summit.  :) :) :)
