This is my point, really. It may just be that I've read things
incorrectly, but it appears that many people want to do scale models
with LEGO proportions (ie. 6-wide), but it's just not possible.

I 100% disagree.  John Neal's 8 wide trains are lovely creations indeed, but
I'll put some of my 6 wide stuff up against anything I've seen yet.

Don't go getting too cocky or I'll have to start coming by Conan's and showing
you how to build stuff again...

I built a Milwaukee Road Diesel, you can see the nose of it here:

This is one of my fave pics from Paul's bunch... because it has the Milwaulkee
Road diesel... and because it has Brian's brake van, and because it has my
sanding tower. :-)

I built it from a picture on a calendar.  I don't know what the model is, I
don't know the style - I just built from the picture.  Larry (Hail Larry!)
explained to me that this particular model was a "re-build" of something
something something, I don't remember all the information.

Me either, unfortunately. GP20 "paducah rebuild" perhaps?

You'll get me in trouble writing things like that - people look at me
strangely when I suddenly burst out laughing here at my desk...
