Looks great, Tim. I think the smaller models require more clever bits to be
convincing such as the use of the 1x6 arches. 7-wide is beginning to grow on
me too!

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your comments. I agree about smaller models being more fun. I love
having to find ways around problems that would be so simple to solve in
eight-wide or larger.
But... don’t get into seven-wide!!! Seven-wide is pretty much doomed if we don’t
keep getting the 9V stock. That said, if I can I’m going to cut the baseplate
off the battery pack and see what I can do if I’m forced to.
I try to use it only for wide prototypes like Russian and Indian, partially
because I like using the standard train plates and partially because I consider
myself a six-wider. I see seven-wide as wide six-wide. This one was an accident
as I thought it was wide gauge from the first pics I saw and by then had decided
on my plan.

| (...) I've enough 9v stuff to keep me going for a bit but I take your point regarding the IR trains - difficult but not impossible in 7-wide. I also look on 7-wide as a wide 6-wide. I've seen some very convincing MOC examples and note that you can (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
