Assuming they are semmetical, the trains then are 20 studs wide.  Better get
that car _much_ wider there John!

Ahh, it appears that the different LLs are using different scales-- from 16-20
studs wide.  I think I will stick to around 14 wide because I am going to use G
scale wheels (and track, for that matter) and that width (13-14 studs) is about
right for that scale (1:22.5 to around 1:32), according to my feeble-minded
calculations....

BTW, James, are you the garden railroader?  Someone here is....I need an expert
opinion!
