Can someone share with me the proper way to attach a bogie to a non-train
platform? In other words, attach it to a standard 6x6 plate. My guess is to
use a Technic plate but I can't figure out if I use one or two, or if there
is a better method. It seems when I only use one plate it is to loose and if
I use two, it becomes very tight. Maybe I need to add some type of spacer?
Thanks.

| Use one. You want a loose boogie plate because that reduces your friction while turning. They seem to spin too easily when off of the tracks, but on the tracks, they work great. Mike Nick Goetz <ngoetz@iquest.net> wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
