I can't find the thread where we discussed the unique 5 cars car carrier. Sadly the preorder period has been closed argh.

As you can see, the rolling stock is about the length of a regular straight track.
Based on the photos, I spotted 2 issues:
1) As expected there is an overhang issue I wonder how well it is able to clear inner curve on the double curve tracks.
2) Height clearance. The cars parked on the upper deck will be taller than the engine. If I recall, Tomy tunnels barely have extra heights to clear the regular engines. They can barely clear vintage tomy trains. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Sadly the reservation has been closed after 2 days. Man this item must be very popular.
