well then 6.6 feet !
i was talking to one of the engineers and what he said was that the width of a dime is all the touches the track and the driver wheels are spaced out so all the track has contact from all the wheels !
if what i'm saying makes sense - it's late !

Sounds like fun.
We haven't had any steam action around here since the C&O 614 stopped pulling excursions from Hoboken to Port Jervis in the late 1990s.
