The bridges were plenty wide. The boxcar my wife built was just too wide in
design. She's working on a redesign right now that I think will be much more
visually pleasing and a bit narrower. I'm also working on my engine, but I'm
afraid it will always have those side clearance problems at corners and toss
signs across the room.
For next time I plan on making an engine designed for a head-on collision.
I'll make sure it flies apart in a dramatic way and snaps back together easily
for another run! Anybody else interested?
