How do you do a Co-Co bogie when the wheelsets are 3-long?

It is very workable... I can't rattle off the URLs but I think several US
prototype 6 axle locos have been done that use this sliding center wheel
idea on their dummy trucks. Christopher Tracey??? Tom Cook? Not sure who.
But it's in this group somewhere if you can search for it.

For e.g. the German 8-wide HoMa has done it:

I dunno if it's all the stickers or what but this loco

(from the same DESERT EXPRESS project) STILL is something to stare at for
long periods and get ideas from, even after some time has went by (was this
1999 or 2000 or earlier this year that this burst upon the scene, I forget...)

It is now nearly 1 year old: it has been published first in late 2000 and
displayed then first time to the public at our christmas-train meeting in the
airport of Braunschweig:

In this picture the train is set to the track (Homa is the man in the very
left):

(the one in the middle who looks into my camera is Frank "Pudie" Abel, who
built the fire engines shown in Muelheim last week).

Leg Godt!

If you like 8wide modern diesels you ought to be poring over this bad boy
for ideas. It's not QUITE US proto but it's close.
