Yeah. I'll retract those two rules. They are too limiting. I tried to build a sample train/corridor model and it just doesn't fit : ( I think if we're going to do trains we need to revisit the corridor height/setback again. Even the new 10 brick height spec isn't enough for a metroliner-ish train to clear : ( I think we need 12 bricks high and 6 studs of setback. That'd let us run 8 or 10 wide trains between modules with no problems. Check out this pic to see what I mean. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/xanthra47/moonbase/traincar.jpg

(...) The NILTC has noted that 6-wide trains are technically 8 with grab bars and protrusions, and 8-wides are technically 10. We adjust our layout clearances accordingly. I think the soft-seal airlocks should be on rack gears, and be able to move (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
