This is true, but it means low slung cars can't go through Altenburg,
and for example I was thinking of making a street car. This would
require a low doorway between the two trucks which would interfere if
people encroached that extra stud to a hight of three bricks.
I think its probably best if we decide to go either the blow ring or the
green from the ground up. Hey if I build this street car, it will be my
first 6 wide creation.[1] :-)
