Using the standard train motor bogie, the locomotive would be relatively large
compared to this 'fixed element' which leaves even more scope for imaginative
building AND retains a 'working model' concept. Tender drive would appear to
be the obvious choice, but HELLO MR. LEGO - WE NEED SOME LARGE TRAIN WHEELS!.
Only thing to watch with 10-wide is the same thing with the longer 8 wide
cars - fouling the point levers.
