OK, you guys have convinced me. I'll fix it now. It's a lot easier to fix in
on paper than to do it later in wood.
Much thanks, Ed

If you have Southwind Models depressed center flat car with transformer
load, you will need about 3 7/8" from top of railhead to top. I am going
through this on my new layout. Also, you will need some extra side clearance
for this car.

Subject: {S-Scale List} Vertical Clearance
Gentlemen,
The NMRA standards specify 4-1/8" vertical clearance from the railheads
for S. I have one spot on my current layout design that is a bit of a
problem. I'm modeling 1951, so will have no modern equipment to worry
about. I don't even like modern equipment, so It's no temptation for
me. What do you think is the minimum I could get away with? Ideally
I'm looking at 3-5/8" if it's at all doable. What do you think? I
don't have anything to measure yet, but it's on the way.
