I agree. A bogus motor that's one plate too high is all very well for a
four-wheeled engine, but not for a bogey.

hole was smaller.

I've done a pretty good one myself - but there are no pictures up yet. I'll
try and MLCAD it this week. I've actually done two - one uses half-stud

real motor on a powered coach. The other is a whole stud out, using a bogey
plate, and goes on subsequent carriages.
