Doug,
CURRENT RCX are 8 studs wide. But if they make one specifically for trains, they
don't have to worry about batteries, and can make it much smaller (think Scout
size, or even multiple modules). The regulator on that type of system would just
feed a DCC signal if needed (or have multiple speed dials), with the rails getting
a full 9V all the time.
