Here's a link to the rendering of the train car we're asking about.
http://www.teamhassenplug.org/GBC/Train/
The blue 2x2 round bricks slung between the train wheel sets is what we're
concerned about. In this 6-wide train car, the 2x2 sticks out an additional 1
stud on each side making it 8 wide at that point. We usually use a bump sensor
that would be placed next to the track to sense the GBC train. Our basic
question is if we keep this arrangement and run the train on the same track with
8-wide trains, would the 8-wide trains trigger (or mutilate, in a spectacular
crash) our bump sensor? I'm not aware of a CAD or rendering of the sensor,
we'll work on that.
Thanks
John
