Wow, you must really be bored to go to all that effort. :-)

Yes, this is still accurate. I still have the "GO" train built and I'm
planing to keep it for a while longer. I want to see it do a full loop
at least once. :-) My new train has lower side clearance requirements.
I'd like greater height clearance for it but I know that is just going
to cause problems. As much as I'd like it for the train, I'm against it
for many other reasons. I'll just have to live with a funny looking
pantograph.
That's made me think of something. If we do the High Town thing, we
should make it a 6 wide standard, and build a cantanery (1. sp?) system
that fits with the metro liner's pantograph. That would be cool. I was
thinking of building a streetcar, I could make it fit with this system too.

1. I can never figure out how to spell this. I know half the web
spells it wrong. Even LDraw has it spelt wrong on the parts that should
be labeled as pantograph parts.
