I believe that there is a rather large battery box cavity in the interior of
the engine above the base plate. Whats nice is that you get to this cavity
via the bottom of the train thru the hanging tank.
So you have the 6x8 “tank” below, the IR reciever blug on either side (which
makes it 8 wide!), and a ~4x6x3 black battery box cavity on top of the base
plate.
This for one means that no 4 wide bodies, like the BNSF, are possible.
I love the remote control-ness of it all, perhaps even at the expense of
lossing the metal rails and having to deal with the batteries, but the
all-in-one design, BUTE (Big Ugly Train Element), is unfortunately very
limiting.

More like 4x10x~4, or so we’ve heard, mainly to house the electronics. So, you
could do a 4-wide body, so long as it’s the same colour as the baseplate!
