Ain't containers 10 by 10 by 40 feet?

10 for width yes. Container height and length vary. 40 used to be
standard but there now are 20s, 30s, 40s, 44s and 50s I believe.

I dunno what the standard height is.

However my point is simple, 10 feet is the width of a container, it's
also the width of a standard US semitrailer and it's very close to the
width of a box car or a passenger coach. Therefore, 6 studs wide for
everything, because that's how wide TLG trains are already



Play well,

Jacob (the multi-width guy :-)

(...) I think standard container lengths are 20, 40, 48 and 53. There might also be 28 footers. These are also standard semi trailer lengths. Paul (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
