Notes: While some may point out that this chart proves
a lack of standards, the chart does demonstrate that systems available
for sale today (*) are very similar in dimensions. In fact, the
maximum width difference between largest and smallest beam is
only .19M (7.5"). With only .095M (3-3/4") difference
per side, manufacturers should be able to modify their trains
to fit different beams.
