I have two very simple 9 volt Train questions about rolling stock.
1. What is the longest non-articulated wagon length that 9 volt track can
handle? I prefer trains to NOT derail.
2. I have noticed that my boxcars (6-wide) seem a bit too tall. I have them
all built 7 bricks high NOT including the roof. The result is boxcars that
are
taller than all other wagons and also taller than the locomotives. What is a
good suggested height and is it okay for boxcars to be a lot taller than
locomotives?
Thanks for your help (to a low-down no-good Townie).
I should know the answers to these questions and I am too lazy to search for
the answers myself. Just knock me up side the head with a speed regulator for
asking....
