I'm with Ben. I'd argue that the total width (of the major parts of the
vehicle) is what matters. Look at this MOC:

(from my slush list 5 page: http://my.voyager.net/lar/slush_list5.html)

If windshield width mattters, this is a 4 wide truck. If every element
matters, this is a 10 wide truck. But I am sure that almost ANYONE would
say this truck is 6 wide. The mirrors don't matter.  :-)

(...) Got any good links to pictures of yard goats? I can't seem to find anything. I've been playing with vehicles with swing down rail wheels and it seems to me that some goats have rail wheels also. (28 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
