I just measured the new caboose, and I think we'd need 13.1 for it.
It's the tallest car I have; other folks will have to weigh in with
their models.  Hey! - that's right, I've got a virtual Club Car - and it
looks like it needs 11.2.

I agree with Derek, we could reserve the outside line for the larger
trains.  The innermost of your 3 tracks only goes up to Altenburg, so we
can cut the requirements there way back, and the inner loop - well, I'm
recommending we reduce requirements on that, since a Go train on the
inner track would hit one on the outer track in the turns, anyway :P

And it'd be nice if there was *somewhere* that we could put supports for
Altenburg.
