(...) Good point. Perhaps instead of setting a length standard (although that is useful when calculating siding capacity) the standard should speak to the envelope of clearance that must be provided. (there must be 4 studs clearance from the edge of (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

I knew that there was something I forgot to include! I think 16 was what we mentioned for tunnel clearances. I LOVED Brian Williams' suggestion of having the entrance to the tunnel removable so that a smaller or larger "mouth" could be added to look (...)

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. A lot of that will depend on how (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

That's why I personally am pleased to see layouts (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

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 (...)
