A very interesting idea, it takes the advantages of the train bases (strength with with the height saving of the inset bogie (truck)) but with far more flexibility of use. I think Lar's suggestion of leaving off one end and adding more holes would (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No, 6 more, for a total of 11. I'd take holes all teh way to the ends! I often do trucks that don't use bogie plates and instead use the 2x2 tile with center technic pin, so I can offset the truck pivot (for ability to get around curves (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Currently I have 5 holes in the train plate. They are 4 studs from the end of the plate as it is on the normal 6x24/28 plates. Are you suggesting I should put two more? I think with the open end it would lead to a weaker structure. Also it (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I find with building long wagons in 8mm:1ft scale (8+ wide British or 10+ wide American) that the 6-wide baseplates don't allow a bogie plate to turn sufficiently inside the underneath of the baseplate. Therefore I've used 2x2 plates with a (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

Hello all I have this idea for a what if part. Its a 6x12 train base plate. I think it would have some advantages over the standard 6x24 and 6x28 base plates. First off, it would alow people to make longer trains by not limiting you to the current (...) (20 years ago, 7-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
