lol, don't be so sure;-) If you saw Bill Toenjes' latest 6 wide fire truck,
you would forsake 4 wide forever. His stuff is wonderful, although AFAIK he
doesn't have any pics posted anywhere at the moment... except this nugget:
http://63.74.171.239/gallery_show_detail.asp?id=57 It's a school bus, but
most of his work is fire/rescue related.
For that matter, check out another GMLTCer and GMLUG host Paul Foster's 6 wide
emergency vehicles: http://www.gmlug.org/foster/ *I* would never go
back;-).....
As for 8 wide trains, I don't have many pics of my stuff up yet (just heres
and theres from the GMLTC web site), but when I do you'll feel the seduction
of better scale, detail, and realism-- I gair ron tee it;-)
