Well, a Jenny will likely have 2 dump bay openings. Assume they'll have a

I'd advocate squeezing out a stud if you can... if the car width is limited
to exactly 6 wide we are in for trouble. See if you can get a stud (maybe
make the dock an odd number of studs wide?) or better, two, of clearance
between a pure 6 wide car and one next to it. Or just go with one track...

Good point. Kai's pics show that he's got something mocked up that has got
potential and some layout design showing where it would fit would be very
beneficial! What do others say?
