[WIP] Southern Pacific inspired diesel engine

[Redimus]

All you need to do is replace the train bases with normal plates, making sure you've remembered to include a hole for the bogie's pin (normally a technic plate), and enough space above where the bogie's pin is for the loco to rest naturally on the top of the bogie.

It's not a bad idea to get used to not relying on the standard train bases, because although useful, they prove very restrictive on a lot of the rest of your design.

Here is an example of Rediums suggestion. Just normal plates on the bottom and a Technic plate with holes to mount the boogie. There is no side wall to limit the boogie's pivoting movement.

Thanks for the suggestions, but even without the standard train base I've got overhand because of the side decorations. :/
