A few weeks ago we had a discussion in this group about a lower profile
truck design. Although we were mainly focusing on spine and container
cars these truck designs can be adapted to any number of uses.
Here's what I came up for a solution:

I've tested this design in a five unit spine car and it works great.
There doesn't seem to be much friction and the height is perfect for the
cars. The only thing I am unhappy with is the wheels are not centered
in the outside beam, but it's close enough.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion.
LMKWYT!
