Modelling trains with LEGO is fun and a challenge, but scale modelling
it ain't, so talking about scale is just a waste of time.

I only bring up scale because of the track gauge issue.  I think trains built 8
wide compared to 6 wide "look" better.  More realistic?  Kinda.  I just want my
trains wider than a snowmobile.  I want my trains to be able to seat 2 figs
across.  I think it's better, but I wouldn't say "it is better"....well, not
without good-natured kidding going on;-)

So I wouldn't say talking about scale is a waste of time, just sharing POVs:-)
