Mono axle? on my acela's? nope those are the 34 stud double level chassis's!
A talga is a challenge, seeing photos of it, the engine could be 6 bricks and

custom built, with "wings" in front, behind the engine,:

I have several photos showing car behind "A" engine
seeing this pass by while in camp pendleton one day i took a stab at trying to
