Hello
I was hoping on the wheel, but some tests tonight did not gave all what I
wanted.
1) external design
I tried to use a 1x8 technic brick, a 1x6 will do and a 1x7 will be good.
It is possible to place the wheels one hole from the end, leaving one hole in
the middle free, and having half a stuff at the ends. In my world, that gives a
nice bogie design. My idea was to attach a 1x7 thin technic beam (32065) in
front of it attached with a Technic pin (e.g. 2780), but the wheel is a bit
thincker than half a stud. A thin beam with an axle hole in the middle would be
good, but that does not exist.
So, any ideas?
2) drive
I was thinking of placing a motor in the car/engine, and powering the bogie by a
central axle. From my time with technic I think of the 4143 Technic Gear 14
Tooth Bevel, which can turn it around, but then I am still 3 (2) technic holes
from the train wheel axle.
I did not find any good solution right now.
3) measuring track
However, an idea of my life is becoming real: it is easy to attach the 5206
speed o meter to my bogie. Ben did this but using rubber wheels, now it is
possible getting it directly from the axle. A small text proved that it works.
If I can get a design 1) right, I will go ahead and build such a car.
This is how far I got tonight

| (...) Pressing the studs of a Technic Rotor 2 Blade with 2 Studs (2711) or a Technic Rotor 2 Blade with 4 Studs (32124) in the holes of the 1x7 beam would give you your desired centered axle hole, and in case of the 2711 part, some interesting (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.trains)
