I would suggest just not using the new IR baseplate. I have the new freight set
and I am not pleased with the pulling power of the train. Just pulling the 4
cars that come in the set, the wheels slip. So I guess I dont see the need to
want to make new trains with the IR train plate.
If you must use the plate, then you have a nice solution. You would have to have
tiles on the train plate to make the sides transition down. That would end up
making thinks bulky. I think anyway you look at it, the IR train plate makes
building 6 wide trains harder.

im going to have to agree with that. i have a small bridge that is raised about
4 bricks, and if its not at full power it doesnt make it
