I hereby do admit that 8 wide CAN look good. John showed me a boxcar he
has been working on, it has a FRED in the end, integrated grab iron
ladders, sliding doors, separated roofwalk, and a whole bunch of other
details.
It looked really good. It also reminded me a lot of a G scale boxcar.
Really very nice work.
However... they are just not practical as 8 wide does not scale well
with minifig scale. This is the same reason I build my cars 4 wide even
though only one minifig can sit in each row.
So don't go in the 8 wide direction. The dark side can be deceptive.

You left your suspenders on my train layout! {:^D I'm (...) (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
