Thats a great BBB solution. In mine the train is only attached by the middle
segment and the other two move (quite far out around corners by some CAD
tests I did). Shifting the centre one reduces this problem significantly and
will make for a much better loco around corners.
Excellent!

Hello Tim,
In the case of BBB 6002, I just placed the middle bogie free under the loco,
with plates on top. There are two rubber bands linking this central bogie to the
two others. It keeps the distance constant between all three bogies and
preserves the look. But if you remove the loco from the track, then you see the
dangling bogie connected by rubbers to the others :) If you need a picture,
please ask.
Your version of japanese BBB looks very nice and is full of details I like a
lot. Your solution of a motor bogie as the central bogie is smart, because the
loco. is self-sufficient. I mean, in my case, I must put a motor under the first
wagon of place this loco in tandem with another one, which is not always easy.
Perhaps we have to imagine a system with a shiftable motorized bogie :)
Thank you also to Tim (David) for the information about the shuttle BBB type, I
didnt know that. Perharps because I should update from time to time :)
