Okay, I am going to cease and desist on the topic of 8 wide, maybe
forever, if all you naysayers would just consider this:
-8 wide is no different in scale than 6 wide-- same minifig, same track.
-8 wide is plain and simply 6 wide plus a row of 1xs on either side of
whatever you are building. That's all. No mystery. No need to move
into a larger house.
-All 8 wide does is give you 2 more studs worth of interior design space
and provide a more prototypical look on the outside. Does not induce
bankruptcy.
-Makes a train once again wider than a snowmobile.
That's it. If you want your trains as wide as 2 minifig ruck sacks, go
for it.
-John
