I decided to spring for one of the expensive Firgelli actuators, and just gave it a quick try. I either got a broken unit, or it is the worst piece of junk anyone has ever made for NXT.

(...) Containers are about 8' wide. A loco is generally about 10' wide. That's a ratio of 4:5. The ratio of 6 wide to 8 wide is 3:4, but that is certainly more plausible than 1:1 (6 wide to 6 wide). And I mention again for emphasis: the cars and (...) (14 years ago, 24-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Locomotives are not 33% wider than containers. I'm pretty sure anyway. If the locomotive is 6 wide plus some overhangs here and there, handrails, etc, and the container is 6 EXACTLY, that seems to me like enough of a difference. Container well (...)
