Hi James,
that is right: the shovels have an overhanging of a quarter of the height of an
plate which is in metric system 1/4 x 3.2 mm = 0.8 mm per each waggon side.
This is a very useful side effect, because by doing so I can put plates directly
under the shovels till the outer edges, what you can't do with your method with
zero overhanging. The studs of the outer plates would then collide with the
shovel part. In result you would be forced to use tiles which is quite difficult
to do in colour green...

Thanks for your kind words - but still: without your great idea none of these
waggons would have been built at all....
