Are we looking at one truck being powered?  Why not both. What would it be like 
to have a gas-electric car, one or two trucks powered.  Is it possible to vary 
the distance between the axles on such a truck?

Hi,
Thanks. Maybe not what is needed for a Miller???? The Millers I bought with 
Beveridge conversions are not great for pulling power. The Millers with 
original power are fun but are not very controlable speed wise. I do like the 
old Millers. Thanks again.
