Here's some things to try:

The orthographic camera setting was changed in POV-Ray version 3.5.  The
command works the same, but it has been moved to the beginning of the camera
statement, like this:

camera {
orthographic
#declare PCT = 15; // Percentage further away
#declare STEREO = 0; // Normal view

For the lighting and camera angles, you've done so much tinkering with these
that I am unable to get my canned settings to work.  Could you send me a
basic POV file (w/ no options changed from their defaults) created by L3PAO
to work with?

I'm still frustrated with the jagged lines.  This image used • anti-aliasing, but
did not smooth out all the lines.

Did you render at the 1280x1024, AA 0.3 setting?  If you did then I'm at a
loss here :-(

Wheels are fixed.  I still feel like a bonehead though.  :)

Don't feel bad...I did the same thing with one of my rigs too.  In my case,
it wasn't caught until AFTER it had beed posted to my website for a couple
of days.

I actually changed all the window bricks in the cab.  It's now a 1x4 • without
center posts as the front brick.  Then 1x1's as the side windows with • nothing in
between.  I think this helped a bit.  Let me know what you think.

I like that look a lot better.
