If you do this (1) you need to arrange for articulation of some sort. I used a
ball and socket(2). Others have used an arrangement to allow the non motor
wheelset to slide sideways. (3)
But if you make the 6 wheel truck rigid, you won't be able to get round
corners, I don't think.
1 - I did for Big Red, which at this point to me is looking rather weak
compared to more realistic work done lately
2 - Which you can see on my webpage. http://my.voyager.net/lar
3 - There was an SD posted recently in Conrail colors that has a center slider,
you'd be the first to do an end slider if you pulled it off, I think,
