File away in the "to think about later" bin... there's a minimum height that a
tram has to be, which is driven by the height of a 9V motor unit as it sits on
the tracks. It might be nice to be a brick or two taller so you can hide the
pivot pin, but a standard that requires very compact designs (no more than 5-6
bricks high total clearance including the track) seems like it might engender
some neat designs.
Some mining trains are no more than 48 inches high, in real life!
