(...) Not everyone shares that opinion. I tend to hold the opposite view. To keep the proportions right, in many cases you need to increase everything by a third, not just the width. Not always, but in many cases. ++Lar (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not as many as you might think. Most people build 6 wide because it is the norm, not because of economy of bricks. Remember, a 6 wide is just an 8 wide compressed by 2 studs sideways; it's not really that many bricks. (...) Then why do it? (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
