I have, both from the air, and up close, (and in articles in TRAINS) and I
agree.

Those containers are gorgeous, as is Mark's 8wide. That's not what I'm debating.
I just don't have enough brick(1) to do very many of them and I'd rather go for
a huge pile of smaller containers that I CAN do, and 2 or 3 ships instead of
just one big one.
Hopefully the effect of bustle and busyness would still come through.
Hopefully this is helping people think about the issue, there is no "right"
answer.
1 - if you look at the construction details (the ldr file shows how terrifically
clever the build is) you'll see that this container consumes mass quantities of
parts that are rarer than the 2x4 brick.
