Welcome to the wonderful world of Lego trains. Where your trains are limited
by only your imagination. That's coming from a guy who has built a twenty
legged dodecapede insectoid train and even the Evil Knievel Stunt train.
Sorry, no picures, it didn't survive the jump.
regaring your question:
I'll let Larry answer what it is officially called, but I'll call it a pushcar.
For an idea, look at the one that comes with the Lego Loco CDROM. Or as an
alternate, I built one similar but changed most of what was above the 4x6
plate. It works something like this:
One top of the 4x6 plate with small train wheels, put two 1x2 tiles w/ center
stud on top on either side of the 4x6 plate. Place one 1x1x1 technic beams on
top of each 1x2 tile with center stud. use a 2x2x1/3 with technic peg holes
underneath and use technic pegs to connect it to the 1x1x2 technic beams. Then
use two 1x2x1/3 'space lasers' (they have thin rods sticking out either side
for a distance of almost two studs) on top of the 2x2x1/3 plate mentioned
above. place the 'space lasers' such that they point to the sides, not front
to back. Wala, one Lego Push car.
I think this looks a little better then the handle bar approach Lego used.
Hope the text description is good enough. If not, email me.
