Well I meet the fat 8-wide standard. I should be under 13.2 bricks in height.
However I'm more then 50 long. I think the bogy pivit points are at 42 or 44
bump separation. Thats why I say I cut a lot on the corners. Going around a
bend two cars will almost reach 90 degrees to each other. It looks really
dumb. Thats why I only display them on a straight section of track. :-)
