I honestly wouldn’t even bother to build 7 wide (I’m sure Ben and I will have
some discussions about this at BrickFest PDX!;-) It is inferior to 8 wide,
and isn’t really much better than 6 wide. 6 Wide is minifig scale and is
its own thing which I enjoy viewing as well, especially when crafted by James
Mathis, who has the best feel for 6 wide train building I have seen.
Having said all of that, I like to hear your reasoning, Aaron, as to why you
think 7 wide is the Truth;-)

I would honestly do 8 wide if a) I had the pieces--8 wide takes up soooo many
more pieces and b) if LEGO track geometry was better!!
I mean, those curves!! Grr!! I have a 6 wide model of the GESD70ACe, which is
around 60-70 studs long and looks ridiculous on the curve! Sure there are those
that say straight-curve-straight-curve... but that’s almost as ridiculous
looking--seeing the train shimmy and shake rounding a bend!
Baah!
Rant off :)
I am so impressed with what I’ve seen of 8-wide rolling stock and locos, but on
my little layout at home, it just doesn’t warrant it.
Eh, whatrya gonna do?

That would entail a bigger house. Bigger house means bigger mortgage. Bigger
mortgage means less money for LEGO purchases!
Geesh! You should know better JohnG! :)

Unfortunately, I know that all too well. Being unemployed for over a year now
puts a serious crimp into the LEGO purchases... :-(

anyone looking to hire an experience software developer (and part-time LEGO
fanatic)??
