I'm not sure that we've really set a hard top yet. By guess is that 14 will be probably the high end, mostly because the tunnels start to look really silly if they need to let through cars that are taller than that. A lot of that will depend on how (...) (27 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
