How do I make a 2-man handcar?

From Ben Fleskes: !

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.

From Russell Clark: !

I usually refer to it as a gandy dancer. There are also instructions to build one in the 7777 Train Idea Book:
