Depends. If you want it to include a motor, try putting a 2x2 turntable on
the back of the motor, then two 1x4 or 1x6 tiles just on the edge of the
turntable, and attach another wheelblock to that, trailing behind the motor.
If this isn't strong enough for you, technic 1x4 steering plates,
upside-down, with the holes pressed onto studs, grip a lot better.
For a six-wheeled tender, I've allowed the centre wheel block to slide
sieways by fitting it with 1x2 plates with door rails, then having 1x4
slotted bricks across the body. I don't know if it's possible to arrange
something like this low enough to go in as a bogey, but I'll try and let you
know. Interesting idea.
