Very gracious of you to say so, Lar.  Thank you...I think.  All of this
talk about the dark side makes me feel like Darth Wider or a Girth Maul;-)

BTW Lar, what is keeping your pants up these days?  You left your
suspenders on my train layout! {:^D  I'm using them to support my train
bridge, though;-)

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.

At John's rate of web progress, we will never see any pictures of his stuff. John, you take some pictures and send them to me, I'll post them for you. Got your slides developed yet? Paul (...) (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
