I can't honestly see this to be a problem but I guess we'll just see at the
show. The one that would worry me a little is something like JeffVW's Go
Train, which is very wide.

IIRC it's 15 bricks of clearance. I've always taken this to be, stack 15
bricks on top of the baseplate. One can then start building above these 15
bricks. I somehow miscounted the last time and built half a building (if
you put minifigures and construction equipment near half a building, people
assume the minifigures are still building it for you, even if you gave up at
3AM the night before the show :) and Iain's car nearly bit it on a 13 or 14
tall structure.
I think Iain said the camera car is a around 14 and he wants a brick of
clearance, which I would too. Actually, if it were my camera, I'd want
like...a foot of clearance. :)
