Use one. You want a loose boogie plate because that reduces your friction while turning. They seem to spin too easily when off of the tracks, but on the tracks, they work great. Mike Nick Goetz <ngoetz@iquest.net> wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Can someone share with me the proper way to attach a bogie to a non-train platform? In other words, attach it to a standard 6x6 plate. My guess is to use a Technic plate but I can't figure out if I use one or two, or if there is a better method. It (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Worthless is a bit harsh. It has a lot of good parts. But it doesn't have any train specific parts in it to speak of, it's not really a train. (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
