I know of them but have never actually encountered any in use.
I'm thinking of pulling the plug on one truck system...though not everything there is usable in O scale due to their small size, but there is some that can be used.
That small size is just right though for trolleys - under the floor drives.
Now where to get correct sideframes?
-The "bullAnt", "bullAnt major" and "bullAnt in-line" goe up to a 9' wheel base{57mm} and the wheels get as big as 32.5"{19mm}. "Wheel width" could be an issue here as the chart only goes up to 22.4mm{S scale}...would need it at 32mm for O scale.
-The "bullAnt low-boy" just isn't that big- wheels or wheel base- unless your running really small trucks.
-The "Diablo" isn't much bigger...think they said it can't go any bigger than listed due to the nature of the unit...a shame.
-The "monoAnt single drive" goes up to 32mm width and 30 different wheel sizes- that's do-able. "Gurzler" looks good...like the "bullAnt series 10 motor" and "sidewinder motor" look great too.

Q-Car used to sell a wide selection of sideframes but he's taken them off his web site for some reason. When that happends it generally means some one's been pirating his castings....
