I think this is a possibility... I am considering redoing some of my
buildings as well. I know that the 6 stud sidewalks are not as
desirable as the 8 wide sidewalks on the old baseplates. That said if
we redo some buildings we could build them back 2 studs to get the 8
wide sidewalks using the new baseplates. We would have to figure out a
transition for those buildings that don't change however.
I personally like the looks of the new baseplates overall. I think we
should either try and buy as many of the old baseplates as we can now or
we should at least talk about transitioning.
