Our (my) mountain has 16 studs between the tracks. We did decide not to go
around a corner with it, so I don't have that pickle to deal with. The inside
track has a 12 studs spacing, so most 8wides should get through with a
problem. Hopefully I will be able to keep it strong enough that it stays
together for the show, I already have designed it so it spilts in two. (I
actually did this orginally for weight, but I think it will weather the
transport better this way as well.
