I know what you mean. When I see a fine compressed train, as in a James
Mathis creation, the word that comes to my mind is “cute”.

Funny, when I see a fine looking (when on static display) 8 wide model on a
curve, even a curve/straight/curve curve, the word that comes to mind is
“ridiculous”.

That’s interesting. I’ve never had the wonky weave problem. Perhaps it is
because we go curve-straight-curve-straight (never 2 curves together).

If and when LEGO ever makes decent radii, I might switch.

Yeah, and bats will fly out of my butt!

But
till then, no. I build my models to operate. (that they sometimes have issues

wide trains and fear the big, bad 8 wides;-) To each his own.

3VIL BAD GUYS! WATCH MY BLECHA STOMP ON THIS PUNY CHOO-CHOO!
(smacktalksmacktalk) <zzzzz>
What I meant was all of the hysteria that building 8 wides will consume entire
LEGO collections (& perhaps a child or two along the way). Your crack was the
kicker!

| (...) Ugh, I can't stand it. We just had a layout that used c-s-c-s-c-s-c to avoid a track overlap, and I felt like puking as the trains went bobbing through it. I can only imagine how those poor minifigs felt. As for the 8-wide debate, we all know (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.trains)
