Will these fit through a normal height tunnel with Lionel Fast Track?

Just the shell or the whole BEEP?

I don't have that car to test, but the BEEP shell itself is 3.3" tall. It certainly looks like it would be about 5", that should clear most tunnels.
Thanks John, I've got one coming this week I guess I'll find out. I didn't think about the height until after I ordered it. Nothing a little landscape surgery won't fix I hope
What "normal" tunnel are you using? What is the height of the tunnel clearance above the rail tops?
MTH's single portal tunnel.
Measure it. I don't have one, but I believe they're probably plenty tall.
4&5/8th's from the top of the center rail allowing a 1/16th for clearance.
That gives you about 1.3" from the top of the rails to the flatcar top. You could take a bit off the steps if it's close.
Thanks John, that maybe a better route than rebuilding the tunnel area.

Room to spare.
And RMT is closing them out right now in single, 2-car and 4-car sets. Only a few left.
Thank you.
