msavageesq Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Hi all, I've been perusing this forum for some time and have made one post, before discovering this intro section, so Hi from the UK. I'm mostly interested in town and city lego and contemplating getting into trains. At the moment I'm schooling my children in the arts of Lego and trying to integrate my existing collection, left over from childhood, with the new 'larger' scales, such as the town house and the 6 or 8 wide vehicles. Regards, Mark. Quote

El Bucanero Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Welcome to EB Mark! 6 and 8 wide vehicles, much better than the unrealistic 4 wide! *y* Enjoy your stay. Quote

Johnny 5 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I can't wait till I have kids old enough for lego!!! But first I gots to have kids for that to work. :-D But hello and welcome to your new favorite forum. Quote
msavageesq Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks all for the welcome. It really is a great resource, I have picked up a lot already. When we get a bit further with the town, I'll post some pictures. I think the 6 wide vehicles are a good compromise. 8 wide is a bit big for the stuff we have already, (as I say mostly left over from my youth), but 6 just fits and is more realistic. I've built a couple of fire engines in 6 wide and managed (just) to cram four crew into one of them, which again adds to realism. Hope to be able to contribute more to the forum as time passes. Quote

Welcome first of all! I don't like the 6 wide cars as although they are more realistic when viewed on their own, I think they are less realistic when placed on the road baseplates taking up the whole width of their side of the road.
