Some time ago I said that I didn't think that adding the ribbing details--a la the 1/5 stud offset--was worth the extra bricks that it would cost me.[1] I guess I was extrapolating from my own tries at a 1/2 stud offset (which were less than (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Looks good, but I find the truck arrangement used in set 4564 to be pretty good, if you fill in the spaces between the wheels with 1x4 and 2x4 bricks. I use this arrangement on my v188 double-diesel. -Harvey (23 years ago, 2-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
