Do tell. This I GOTTA hear.

Well, what I mean is that a big, wide bogie plate is not the way proto trucks
appear.  Since TLC had designed the wheels to be held in place *parallel* to the
axle rather than perpendicular and in proto trucks.  I would like to see TLC
design some new trucks, probably not unlike model railroad trucks, to aide in
realism (if they don't it wouldn't be hard at all to use modified plastic O scale
trucks).  Heck, even *Lionel* uses decent trucks...
