Help: Small Motorized Bogie for Bilevel Plate

[ZueriHB]

For my current project, I need to fit a motorized bogie into the place under the high rise of a bilevel plate.

I came up with this design, but still have a few problems, like fastening the driving axle and getting reliability.

Anyone got any ideas or tips for me?

I've tried to do in the past. Almost impossible, but there's a nice narrow gauge bogie out there that can be adapted to 6W. I can;t find it at the moment... it's entirely technic though.

Do two 5L technic half beams along the sides, join them with these parts http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32034 and 2L technic half beams. Place 1x1 technic bricks at the center of each axle, put a 1x1 round or square plate on top of each and then lay a 2x6 technic plate across the top. I'll post a pic when I can get to my LDD tomorrow.

That's the one I was thinking of too.

Thanks guys! Niw I just need to adapt this to 6 gauge.

There's another super compact narrow gauge bogie, though probably harder to adapt, based on a sideways technic beam: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53584entry957919

The trick to using that one is integrating the studs and adding the top plate. Food for thought though.
