(...) Well I guess I wish they were a bit shorter but it's not that bad. Proportionally they are about the right length compared to the width of a minifig (A PCC truck is something like 8-10 feet long) but I had to compress the model overall length (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

PS This model is "technically" 8 wide. Hear that John Neal? I say that because it has steps at the center and the bottom step, below the door, sticks out a stud from the body. This is prototypical, but it makes the body 8 wide, just in that spot. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
