I like the 8-wide as the proportions work out better. I realize the wheels look
to small but this one is 100% Lego Except for the face paint and soon to follow
#1 decal.
If Lego was to make a 6 wide I think they designed the motor to accept a side
decoration with a dead center wheel. At least the indentation is in the right
spot and the measurements work out perfect.
It’s all academic anyway as tomorrow or the next day someone will build a better
one and if you’ve ever worked with the Thomas people you’d know that the odds of
Lego working out a deal with then are slim and none. -Ken
