(...) well, modesty IS a virtue and I've got them all, but I digress. Trucks should be the SAME width as trains, at least the trailers should be. Take a look at a container, and a boxcar sometime. To LEGO resolution, same width. Those 4 wide (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-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? How do 8 wide railroad cars look on those tight radius (...) (25 years ago, 31-Aug-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) I made a more scaled container awhile back. check out (URL) I have since changed the car that carrys the container, to a shared bogie unit. With 4 containers long stacked two containers high. Pictures to come soon I hope. Dave (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

It loaded fine for me here at work, but I know for a fact it won't load at home, even though I am using Communicator 4.61 at both locations, both on NTWS 4.0 SP4. The reason I know it won't load at home, even without trying? Xoom. If you have a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) 10 for width yes. Container height and length vary. 40 used to be standard but there now are 20s, 30s, 40s, 44s and 50s I believe. I dunno what the standard height is. However my point is simple, 10 feet is the width of a container, it's also (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
