The platforms don't need to be on top of the wheels, you know. For example:

You could park a standard corridor on yor train that way, and still easily
fit. I've already made an engine and it's only 5-bricks-tall. It doesn't
have an engineer, so it's robotic. It's the future, so who'd need a slow,
fleshy engeneer to drive a vehicle that runs on tracks anyways!? ;)
