Agreed. The advantage of 7-wide is also that it runs fine on 12V track,
8-wide will not. My original idea of 7-wide was "broad gauge".
7 wide looks more real as wheels are really under the train.

Still, front sheilds on engines are problems when building 7-wide.

You forgot one important answer, so I canot answer your poll at all: I build
all stuff in 7 wide now, since that is my personal favorite compromise in
running behaviour and look. Additionally 7 wide can still run among 6-wides.

7-wide = trains
6-wide = trucks
5-wide = cars
