Now if only Spencer was a GOOD ENOUGH builder to have pulled this off in 6

Don’t listen to him ;-) As a seven wide, this looks excellent. The need for this
scale was especially brought out when I saw the interiour shots, where you get a
1 stud wide gangway (or whatever it’s called) which would not have been possible
in 6. At first sight, I was ‘Oh yay, another train MOC’ but today I had the
chance to take a closer look at it, and it turns out you’ve used some extremely
fancy stuff to build this thing, which are not apparent at first glance. I love
the care with which you did the vestibule connections and the underside. You’ve
used some clever 1 x 1 bracket 1/5th stud techniques there to get the lamps up
front, and I don’t even know how you did
this. As I mentioned
with the cars, I like the usage of click hinges as detailing. I always thought
trainheads were better at greeblies than spacers ever will be. I want to see
more trains now :-)
