I knew that there was something I forgot to include! I think 16 was what we mentioned for tunnel clearances.

I'm not sure that we've really set a hard top yet. By guess is that 14 will be probably the high end, mostly because the tunnels start to look really silly if they need to let through cars that are taller than that.

Is there going to be a standard size car/rolling stock standard? i.e.,clearance on all tracks for something 8x44x14 (or whatever) I would think that this would be just as important as standard track interfaces and such, as this is going to be the (...)
