I have been wondering for a while....why Carbon 60? Are you a big fan of

23 3/8" x 17 3/4" x 4" for 6399 Airport Shuttle
22 7/8" x 18 1/4" x 3 7/8" for 6285 Black Sea's Barracuda
So, it looks like the girls got the biggest box. (please no hate mail). I could
apologize for being US centric with my measurements, but we all know 1 inch =
2.54 cm so feel free to do the math.

Oh, now I see you meant that 6991 is a small box, not 3290. Anyway, 3290 is
bigger than 6399 (I measured 6285 because it was the other big box that I
owned.)

| (...) 6991 is a tiny box! I reckon that 6990 and 6399 Monorails were bigger - when I got mine in the post (6991) I thought how small it looked. Can you verify this? I have train 7740 - that's big. (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.general)
