The new PF train motors are also very good, but this one seems to work well :)

Here's another couple of examples

Depending on how far apart you want your wheels, you might be able to have a non-sliding center axel, but there will always be some friction.

There is also a technique which uses normal Lego train wheels with the center one sliding between the other two, (often referred to as Tall Tims trucks I think) but I couldn't find a link and they only work for non powered truck so probably wont be useful for you.

Looks cool, sad that TLC isn't going to release trains with six wheels. Looks very powerfull. Like those diesel trains

I didn't have to look very hard as I've been wanting to build a DB 103 class electric for some time so I've been collecting links. Still have to finish my current projects first but I hope to make a start on the 103 soon.

You could also use the bogie featured in Railbricks magazine number 6. I currently use this in an extended version in my NS 1200 WIP.
