I agree that James' MOC is very nice:-) Building an engine 6 or 8 wide really
isn't an issue for me; yeah, I think that the 6 wides look a little squished when
viewed from the ends, but overall, width really doesn't affect an MOC's
appearance. The real advantage to building 8 wide as I see it comes when
constructing the *coaches*. I just hate having only enough room for 1 row of
seating....
