6 wide. Why? because Lego is NOT to scale, and the amount of space I cover
with traintrack is excessive as it is :). New curves, yes. 8 wide? No
thanks. If I want scale models, I go downstairs and work on the P4 stuff. If
I want large scale models, I go and work on the 3/4" to the ft stuff. To me, 6
wide is a comprimise, but a workable one. If the Minifig stays the same, and
not much else changes (single passenger cars...ect) I would rather see 6 wide
trains.
To me, however, I would rather see 6 wide trains, and the goodies, than 8 wide
trains and (later on) the goodies.

I'd buy them, but would prefer 6 wide. I'd likely continue building to 6 wide
body (the same as I do now...because 10 wide clearances are a pain, 8 is bad
enough)
