Thanks Derek!

I'd add the following observation:  For all the "normal" train cars I've
tested, if you have a track-side object 3 bricks tall or shorter, it can
usually get about 1 stud closer.  That's because the train base tends to
be just barely higher than that.



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]   :-)
