(...) Right. Has to be else you have to decouple. However if the guestimated height someone posted elsewhere in the thread is correct it will be plenty high for 6 wide trains. 8 widers might be out of luck though. (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

Agreed. The advantage of 7-wide is also that it runs fine on 12V track, 8-wide will not. My original idea of 7-wide was "broad gauge". 7 wide looks more real as wheels are really under the train. Still, front sheilds on engines are problems when (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
