First, thanks for the pic, now I get what you mean by HUGE!
Second, I don't see that as a problem, I think that will fit in my 'lil Corolla! HAHAHA
Third, what would that be for? A train of some sort?

Thanks for the help guys, it looks like I won't be able to do this project, at least not until I decide to design/build my own engine!
