Good point. But not a problem for the thread originating model which has no
couplers and therefore doesn't really have to worry about friction losses
cutting into pulling capacity. The increased symmetry of having the spacing
between the truck body and the slopes on both sides identical was more
important than the symmetry from having closer (but not exactly equivalent)
truck spacing.
And doing something in 1/2 stud offset wasn't worth the bother.
