Pictures to come soon I hope. Dave (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, they are a bit wider, that is true. But the extra width can be as little as 4 inches a side (in fact on some spine cars it's 0) which in a total width of 10 feet is less than LEGO resolution. That's not even a plate on its side, much less (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) But containers aren't the same width as the cars. The containers go in drop well cars so the cars have to be wider than the containers. More fuel on the fire.... Paul (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmmm. Maybe your right but doesn't a 6 wide semi translate to 4 wide cars and 6 wide railroad cars? Or is a 6 wide semi to wide for 6 wide railroad cars requireing 8 wide railroad cars?
