Who said we're fighting? Unless we're in kidding mode, we agree on this. There
are lots of interesting scales/form factors to work in, depending on what you
want to do.
Those 14 wides look amazingly realistic. Stuff that has to be done with
specialty parts or just hinted at (the caboose steps in the truck picture are a
prime example) in smaller form factors all of a sudden become possible, and
wonderful.
Taken to the other extreme, the 4 wide stuff pushes the limits of how small you
can go and still evoke the desired effects. I think it's very interesting that
John did the same model (the SOO caboose in white with red cupola) in both form
factors. Great contrast. His use of certain parts (1x1 tile with top clip) to
evoke ladders and things is sublime.
But then, he's my acolyte. I'd expect no less.
