   Hi Joep,

Seems that trains is very busy with new posts at the moment. I am curious why you decided to change to eight-wide. It seems to me that this train is not gaining anything much from it but perhaps you see future trains as having greater potential in eight-wide. Of course I am a fairly strict six/seven-wider so might be biased ;)


I think that, yes, your bias is clouding your judgment, because it is obviously clear why he went 8 wide to model this train-- because he totally nails the look and feel of the proto by doing it. Compare it to his 6 wide version. There is no contest here.

Sorry, this MOC is a spot-on for dimensions and in appearance. Well done, Joep!

I agree he has the shape 100% down but I thought that for the six-wide version too. I’ll never quite get eight-wide but these are nice trains, six- or eight-wide.
