What's the capacity of the runaround? I'm trying to figure out how to adjust this trackplan for IPD box cars. If I could fit an NW2 plus two box cars (NW2 = 6 inches, IPD box cars = 8 inches, thus a total of 22 inches). Regular 40 foot boxcars are 6.5 inches over the couplers. Would I be able to shorten the runaround so that I could fit 22 inches on each end?

If you want to run IPD cars I think you would like this plan that Stein made:[Image: giles02.jpg]
