Good thing you didn't give out their name, they'd be deluged ;-) I still need 2
more 4558s ;-)

Yes, I'm trying to work around this, and will cheat too - not ALL cars have to
be passenger cars, I will make a few baggage only cars that will have the large
doors from the rear non-powered engine car, and (until I can get enough windows)
will try to figure out how to use less windows in a few other cars.
2 of my Club cars will be built as intended, the other 2 will be "regular
passenger cars with storage underneath" - the dropdown section will have doors
to store stuff in (bicycles, luggage, etc).

That's a whole different topic ;-) I'll be working on a "short" black
Metroliner (10 cars or less) once the Soccer vans come out, and the window panes
will either be plain glass, or the trans-lt-blue from 3225s. I'm also debating
on whether I'll make them black with the RWB stripe, or make a red/black scheme
to match my freight train.
