It kind of forces your hand to go 8 wide, or at least 7, don't it? Even if
you go with the low profile outer journalless truck that Chris showed
recently you can't rotate the wheels and fit within a 4 wide area.
I am just loving the way you got that upside down and sideways stuff to work
in your mockup, interlocking those 1x2-1x4 brackets is brilliant!
> John: Thanks for the reference back to your corrugated passsenger cars.
They do look sweet, although the amount of corro they consume makes one blanch!
