EXCUSE ME????? What sort of revisionist history rewrite is this????
John Neal whined for months for the GMLTC to go 8-wide instead of 6-wide.
And after we couldn't take his whining anymore we broke down and voted 'yes'.
And NOW he wants us to run train cars that are 60 studs long -- even though
the REST OF THE GROUP agreed that 8-wide x 44 studs long was a workable and
realistic maximum size... John Neal won't be happy until we're building at
12" = 1' scale. (That's *life sized*!)
Methinks John Neal needs some more ventilation in his print shop, he's
obviously been breathing too many fumes again...
JohnG, GMLTC
