Its apparently 10cm wider than the maximum network rail loading gauge (according to an article I read in Rail today)= so will they be able to move it by rail over some specially cleared routes o= r will it have to go by road? 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? B2003 |
