Not really, for starters it can ruin the "uniform" look of a roof and
secondly, as Eric mentioned, with the absense of corner-peaks in low slopes,
one cannot make a 90 degree turn in the roof.

Like Eric (again) - even as a non-avid train fan, I know exactly what train
windows are. So if they truly thought these are the train windows we asked
for - they obviously don't know what they're talking about, and
didn't "research" the matter enough.

I don't know *why*, but before TLC put flash on their site, all their pages
were ASP. So it's not something new.
