Lego trains arn't horrible (mayby ZNAP and BuyOnickles are) ;-)

As long as we have these narrow curve radius we have to attach the buffers to
the bogies to bring them through the curves. (I can live with that).

I agree, but you have bought a Lego set: if it does not look right to you, feel
free to do any change you like. (If you have not enough phantasie how to do it,
look at the instructions of 4558 or others...)

Co-Co = 6 axles in total (3 per bogie)? That is easy: nobody (in
Lego-model-building) has ever demanded
that the turning point of the bogie has exactely to be in the middle above the
second axle. Build it a little asymmetrically - that is all.
4 axles in one boogie are a bigger problem (since 4 axcles in line will cause
derailments in curves): you have to do a construction in which the pair of
middle axcles slides sidewards.

No, but I build mainly classic "Euro-Trash" and that means 4-wheel bases
without any bogies at all...

To keep it 5p. cheaper....
