Once again, those who run 6 wide have proven themselves to not care about
those of use who model 8 wide. They probably don't have handicapped access
to their layout, either. :-)
It is unfortunate that many layouts can't handle oversized trains. I am
hoping that is not the case when the BayLTC layout gets up and running. I
figure that if my UP Diesel can make it through a layout, then anything
short of the largest of Steam Locos, the Allegheny or UP Big Boy, are safe.
Have you actually tested the layout for the largest size train possible at 6
and/or 8 wide? Just testing to see what can and can't go around the loop
will alert you to possible problems before you run into them.
