Dear Paul,
7-wide trains are not really uncommon. Lately the focus here in Lugnet may have
been on 6-wides again (due to the factory sets), but 7-wides are just the
perfect compromise between detailing and reliable operational behaviour. (And of
course this is just my very subjective opinion).
At Brickfest PDX (long time ago) I have given this presentation, which you may
check out here:

It should answer at least a lot of your questions.
With Kind Regards,
