I would have prefered the 2x2 plate with pin but then I would have
needed about thirty of them and I only have about six total and I used
those for trailer suspensions on a couple of the trailers. The axles
on most of my trailers are fixed.

think double-stack is out of the question. I think a TOFC unit might
look better, still playing with some of those.
