I think we wagon plate users should be offended at that statement, but
seeing how warped (twisted in reality) mine truly were- to each his own. Not
all of us has the money, resources, or experience to build in 8 wide or
whatever, which is what this jab may imply. Hope this opens a can of worms
here. -Harvey

I set XFUT to .fun because, well, <sputter> when you accuse me of promoting
8 wide, why, them's fighting words!!!

LOL  Hey Lar, he gave you more credit than you deserve;-)

And not at all suited for lego.direct.

I'll see you at dawn, bring your nerfgun. :-)

PS I'll have you know, J2 uses wagon plates on the bottoms of his 8 wide box
cars, some of them anyway...

I go back and forth.  My initial box cars did indeed.  Then I decided that I
*didn't* like that and dismantled them.  Now I have just built a switcher that
uses one.  So I don't know where I am on the subject.  If for nothing no other
reason, I like the holes-- but that could change if I ever decide to simply
<gasp> drill a well-placed hole into a 6x8 plate....:-)
