The bogies are cut from 3/4 Cabinet grade maple plywood with a hole saw, 
then I true them up with the trusty disk sander.  The HVSS is just for 
looks, each axle will be bolted seperately to aluminum angle which will be 
bolted to thefloor of the hull.  When I went to bolt up the bogies I 
discoverd I eas 6 nuts shy, and always on a Sunday afternoon too

Hopefully y'all won;t see that view too often!!!!  I'm using a threaded 
steel rod for a rear axle with acouple of turnbuckles to use as the 
tensioning devices.  If they work on garge doors, surely they'll work for 
tracks!
