(Okay, this is posted to .build _only_, because it has no relation to trains
whatsoever. It has nothing to do with containers either, only the ongoing 4-
vs. 6- vs. 8- wide controversy.)
I was just thinking this morning how I need to build some rescue equipment for
my Launch Command setup, and how displeased I was at LEGO's fire and rescue
trucks, helicopters, et al. I already have 10+ safety crew for my astronauts
and their support crews, but the safety crew is limited to running to
emergency situations. I decided to go 6-wide with my rescue trucks and
whatnot, as that should afford me at least 2 onboard crew per vehicle. Once
I've got some MOC's together, I'll post more info.
