If you think TLC 6 wide trains are too expensive, just think how bad 8 wide

cost.
I don't think you have to worry that this is going to happen. Only a small
minority of people would be advocating such a thing to TLG. Hypothetically

greatly diminish the credibility of the advocate with TLG.
Fan created 8 wides? Great. Bring them on.
TLC created 8 wides? Height of folly.
