Yes, the back of the engine is eight studs wide. I ran 2x8 and 2x? plates along the sides so I could attach the rail. There may be a way to attach the rail without going 8 wide, but I haven't had any clearance problems (train station 2150 and the (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Going WIDE. Is the diesel electric wider than 7 studs across for the length of the technic axel railing? Nice job. Off-topic, I like the way the fence piece is used at an angle on the under side of the trolley. Neat effect. later, James Mathis (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

One again I have not tried to make a specific model of diesel electric; I just tried to make something that looks like a diesel electric. I have used some ideas from other models, but I have added a 7 stud wide cab, and a technic axel railing. (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
