11 inches should be ok to run especially if you aren't coupling it up to other cars. I have one set that give me a little bit of trouble, but...
The bookcase cases are nice. I ended up getting one for my Acela which came without a case. Had to cut the foam to make everything fit. They...
Would be cool to get a Superliner cab car. But probably won't happen as that is not prototypical
