Why would there be so much trouble with the 4 axle trucks? The rigid wheelbase is comparable to a small 0-6-0 which had no trouble with any switches outside of trolley tracks. If the Santa Fe had trouble with the DD trucks how did they ever manage with the eight coupled wheelbase of the 4-8-4's, or worse yet the 2-10-2's I think that this issue is one of those "urban myths".
