evoke the feeling of passenger cars as well, so what is the point? Are you
about “evoking feelings” or trying to copy something as closely as possible?
When I copy something, I try and replicate everything that is possible,
not try and figure out how much I can leave out and still capture the
essence of something. Because then you end up with an eggliner.
YMMV,

Eggliners are a good joke...
But to me, they do NOT capture the essence of a train car. There is a place you
have to know where to stop compressing and they went TOO far. That is why in my
ATSF project, I made the cars LONGER than Lego chose to.
