8 Studs between wheel blocks. This is the answer I was looking for.
I am well stocked with Bogie plates, but I have seen many good-looking (cute)
short waggons of about 16 studs in total length. I thought I might try
building some short wagons with fixed wheels. Just needed to know what the
extremes are. Since Ben states the extremes are 10 or 12 studs apart, I will
take that as the definitive answer.
