Me too! John, These are great. I wrote about 4Wides a couple of
weeks ago after posting my latest 4Wide big rig. Here's the link
just in case you didn't see it...
<http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/bigrig/>
At the time, I suggested that someone get a cheap HO trainset and
combine it with LEGO since the 4Wide is almost perfect HO scale!
This is such a cool idea now that I can see the actual result. I found
the 6Wide train layouts are just too darned big, and a real HO layout
is a pain because kids fingers tend to...well, you know. LEGO trains
can be rebuilt when they derail or hit the floor!
Keep building and posting!
Cheers,

| Sweet! I'm starting to get really into these microfig scales... Looks real good, I like the way you used the 1x1 plates w/clip (or whatever you call those)... Nice job! -Shiri (At least, on average you're building six-wide now... (4+8)/2 = 6... ;-) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
