Reply to "6-48048 S gauge Missabe & Iron Range SD9 Diesel"

The American Flyer model of the Alco PA/PB used a correct prototypical six wheel truck, albeit the "center wheel" was blind, e.i. no wheel.  Lionel could have produced a flexicoil six wheel truck adapting the same concept for "SD" diesel models as well.

That's exactly what Lionel did for the so-called Flyer SD9.  6-wheel siderframes over the PA truck.

Lionel also has a proper 6-wheel truck for the Flyer U33C's, SD70's and ES44's since 2012.
