(...) Look closer... those windshields are bowed out, not like the SFSC's flat-across windshield. There's the side panes that are set back from where they should be were it flat, that's how you can tell... Is this a new piece? I know I've seen it (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) That was what I meant. A double rail (given the wheels used to hold it up) would be necessary. I'll buy a few, I think. At least a few. best LFB (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) I have bad eyes but I thought these were not small train wheels but rather the same sort of wheels used in the Hogwarts Express. In that case only a single rail is required since they have flanges on both sides. (1) And further, and more (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the wheels might be what BL calls x265, "Wheel 11 x 8 with Center Groove". Maybe they figured out a way to ride the groove on a rail. Ray (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) It's hard to say with the blurry pics, but I think they are 4-wide. The bridge that the taxi cab is on looks to be made from the track from the Racers theme. A 4-wide vehicle fits on that track just fine, but the 6-wide HP car is too wide. Ken (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.town)
