Interesting you should say that, Chris, because when building 8 wides and larger, I
have found it to be exactly the opposite case. When I have a large project in the
works, I find it very time consuming to assemble all of the necessary parts from
auctions, trades, etc, and so many of my projects are months and sometimes years in the
making. That's a lot of downtime between building;-) So I have at least 10 different
creations in the works, all in different stages of completion.
I will say that building 8 wide requires a lot of patience and determination. Of
course, a vast bulk selection would alleviate a lot of that!

Big cars look cool, but when you can open them up and have great interiors the coolness factor goes WAY up. The three (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
