Yeah.  I'll retract those two rules.  They are too limiting.  I tried to
build a sample train/corridor model and it just doesn't fit : (
I think if we're going to do trains we need to revisit the corridor
height/setback again.  Even the new 10 brick height spec isn't enough
for a metroliner-ish train to clear : (  I think we need 12 bricks high
and 6 studs of setback.  That'd let us run 8 or 10 wide trains between
modules with no problems.  Check out this pic to see what I mean.

Now that I disagree with.  I don't think the standard should bend because we
need tall trains.  Just make em short.  Like Larry said, even some mining
carts are only 48" tall.

Agreed...I have a couple sets of train wheels...(but no motors or modern track)
maybe I'll make a sample train car.
