But you already *have* converted-- 6 wide trucks and 8 eight wide trains.  They
go hand in hand like Fred and Ginger, Peanut butter and Jelly, Lar and
modesty....well, you get the idea;-)

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 containers we have are too narrow AND too short, even a
minifig should be able to (nominally) stand up inside one (although mine
are usually made from solid bricks, I have better uses for thinwalls but
you know what I mean.

So: 6 wide trains, 6 wide trailers, 6 wide containers. That's where we
need to be.

(...) 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)
