Improve Running of 6-wheel Trucks

Dick Karnes' experience with the American Models' six-wheel trucks was that he has needed to deepen the center axle holes, as well as elongate them vertically. This was necessary to give them lateral movement, necessary to get them around curves without derailing, and to let the center wheelset float up and down over track irregularities. New production models should be OK, but older runs may need this work done to them.
