Oh hellz yeah. I can clear that no problemo! Awesome. :)
(Looks like I *can* make it to train3 after all, btw.)
I think we found at the MONLUG train show that the width of the eluraCar is
extremly disproportionate to the height. It's tall, but it's not wide. It's
an 8wide car (with hand strap secured to the body of the camera so it
doesn't flop all about), but at like 14.1 high (bricks.plates, ie, 0.3 =
1.0). So it tends to make openings in structures really nasty sized :-/
I guess we just have to decide, does the satisfaction people get from
watching the POV clips in the videos outweight the added headaches of
construction? It's something I've been thinking about for a while. I hate to
like, imply that everything HAS to have an opening that big, just for the
camera I happen to have. Feels kinda guilty :-/

WOW! That's a lot of stuff!!
We should all make an effort to take some pictures of how Jeff packs the
stuff in his car, and send them to show Subaru. :)

| (...) I found it a bit irritating but I've grown used to making anything on the mainlines 15 tall. Most people don't build over top of the track that much anyways-at least not in train2-train3 will probably be different. But I don't bother with (...)

| (...) Excellent. (...) From my perspective I don't find the 15 block height to be out of proportion. My "GO Train" cars are exactly 13 blocks high. The 2 block clearance looks about right when they go into a tunnel. However I seem to be the only one (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
