 This is A Dutch locomotive, build by Joep Klazen, who is just started to make
all of his Dutch-Trains in 8-wide, this is his 8-wide version of the Dutch
1851, this is his first experience building with 8-wide. He likes it (both
the loco as the 8wide) very much.

 Hi Joep,
 
 Seems that trains is very busy with new posts at the moment. I am curious why
you decided to change to eight-wide. It seems to me that this train is not
gaining anything much from it but perhaps you see future trains as having
greater potential in eight-wide. Of course I am a fairly strict six/seven-wider
so might be biased ;)
 
 I have seen a lot of your train designs for a while and you seem to have a very
good sense of structure and shape but perhaps lack a little in the texturing and
details.
 
 For some constructive criticism, I would recommend working on your pantograph
designs and adding a bit more texture to the sides of your models. I would also
recommend fleshing out the roof details a bit more. It is something Ive had to
learn and really adds a lot of character to a train.
 
 Overall you make very good work and lots of it which is cool.
 
 Hope this has been of some benefit to you...
 
 Tim

I think that, yes, your bias is clouding your judgment, because it is obviously clear why he went 8 wide to model this train-- because he totally nails the look and feel of the proto by doing it.
