Blue 2x2x3 extreme slope corners: yeeha! Now we need a good source of
blue extreme slopes.

Okay, I understand the facination with train windows, but what's so
wonderful/useful about 2x2x3 extreme slopes/corners?

The same thing that is wonderful about ANY corner slope.  It can be used to
make a sloped surface with more than one plane.

In particular, the extreme slope lends itself well to "accurate" scrutural
building - for an excellent example of this, see:

The picture there doesn't show it too well, but it's an excellent example of
how a 2x2x3 extreme slope can be used structurally.

Besides, what's so great about train windows? <duck>
