Can you overlap the tile with a plate or brick that is attached across the
width of the tile or possibly from behind the tile?

OK, I never real-brick-built this. Thanks for letting me know. Off to my
brick pile...

I like the 2x2 windows over the 1x1 clear. It's a tough call.
After seeing your real-brick-build versions, I must say that I like the
thick look of the 1x brick diaphram over the 1x6 tile. The 1x6 tile just
looks too thin.
Also, I think I would lean to design this 7 or 8-wide if I tried again.

Are these real-life color schemes for EMU's in England?

Teaming up on it. I look forward to your next version.
Glad to see you got some yellow 2x2 windows; that's nice of you, Mark!
