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 (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No you didn't miss a discussion, but let's start one... :-) I sort of made a difference between trains, sets and wagons and structures with wagons like the ones you mention.
