Yes, the back of the engine is eight studs wide. I ran 2x8 and 2x? plates along
the sides so I could attach the rail. There may be a way to attach the rail
without going 8 wide, but I haven't had any clearance problems (train station 2150
and the Freight Loading Station 4555 had to be pushed back one stud) so I haven't
had the desire to reengineer the back down to a 6 stud platform (the train would
then be seven wide if you include the 2 extra half studs for the axels)
The fence was nspired by the people catchers on the street cars down here...but
they do not really look like that. I should put up a picture of one of the real
street cars.
Thanks for the nice comments.
