I was planning on at mentioning the 6 vs 8 wide "debate", so that the people
there know that the LEGO train community has it's own internal infractions
just like many of the other scales do. Don't want LEGO trains to sound so cut
and dry, I think it says alot about the hobby. It points out that a) there is
a lot of room for imagination and flexablity b) not all LEGO train hobbiest
think on the same lines. I think it's one of the greatest things about LEGO
trains, no limits and no rules.
