Though looking closer, I see that your running boards stick out 1.5 studs so this trick might not work in this case.

Keep up the good work,

Thanks much! I actually had considered your solution while I was working on designing my boiler, I used your similarly snotted boiler as inspiration. The problem I run into is that my boiler isn’t all one color, so in order to use your solution my running boards would have to be two-toned just as the boiler.

However, my wife convinced me to try using black tiles with white plates beneath to see how it looked, so here are the results:

If I can find a way to stuff a white pinstripe in the paneled section towards the rear, I may very well go with this design.
