Hi James, thanks for transmitting this message! But I can't find the section on LEGO.com ;-(( Is it (URL) ??? But the idea of bigger wheels and shorter tracks (maybe wider curves??) sounds good. BTW: Everything ok in your desert James? Kind regards, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

No this is not about 6 or 8 wides but I need some expert-advice here: 6 wheel bogies; does that work on 9V tracks? what is the maximum length of a 4 wheel car? Most LEGO 4 wheelers are 16 studs long, is that the max? What is the (realistic) maximum (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
