Seriously, what are you going to do when TLC introduces their new line
of 8 wides trains? It's inevitable. Evolution and all that jazz... I
mean, if TLC would get serious about producing model train sets, would
you want them 6 wide and toylike? Why bother with gentler curves, added

to hold my breath. I can live with the wide little fellows quite
easily, but not with their narrow 6 wide trains....

| I'm starting to be pursuaded that 8 wide is indeed superior to 6 wide. I may even build my next passinger train in that scale. But first I'd like to see some models that have been built in the 8 wide scale. Do you know any websites that show models (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)
