I think my responsibility wasn't that big it had to be mentioned here....

And it's a remarkable result in fact! Wow I'm really impressed by the amount of
small details, by the clever and really new use of the Ninja doors sideways as
sliding doors and by the impression of the whole model as it stands under the
blue sky.
This photographing technique might be indeed the only point influenced by one
of my recently written mails...
Since it seems to me I'm one of the last 6-wide fans, I have to do some
obligatory critics on your model: ;-)
- is it possible, that the train wouldn't fit to minifigs? (I see none of them)
- will you recycle now all your other trains or build them again in 8-wide?
Ok, I'm just kidding! I see, that in average and on straight track 8-wides look
better than 6-wides, since you can add more details and even proportions
between height and width look more proper. But I don't want to start the 8-wide
discussion here again, instead I would beg you, not to leave the 6-wide
fraction forever. You always delivered best arguments for the 6-wide party. ;-)
Kind Regards,
Ben
