I think this point is key. 8 widers seem to think of Lego trains as models,
where a majority of 6 widers (there are exceptions) see them as toys. My
opinion is that 6 or 8 wide in your own collection is up to you, but Lego needs
to keep making them 6 wide. Lego is a toy company that makes toys. If some
people want to make models with those toys, that's alright, but it's a far
stretch to expect a toy company to support the modeling community with toys.
