Very impressive model. Of course building it 8 wide and making it
proportionally long (to match the width) highlights the limitations of using
a fixed wheelbase motor I guess. Those trucks seem out of proportion to the
rest of the model (too short, wheels too small, etc).
I wonder how this model would look in 6 wide? I wonder if Ross is a good
enough modeler to get anywhere close to that level of detail and accuracy if
working in a size that better matched the trucks? I bet he is, even if his
father perhaps (we can't say for sure) isn't. :-)
But wow, what a great model.
