Ah, but, in kinematic envelope terms the vehicles are relatively short
(16m according to wackyp=E6dia) so the throw on curves would not be as
substantial as an equiv. 20m carriage.

I always thought 2.85 (ish) was the absolute maximum width no matter what
the length of the carraiges. Is this not the case?
