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.

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.
