Ok, first you complain that there aren't enough bricks out there, now
you're complaining that there are too many. I think you need to get a
job. I'm starting fear that the next time we drop by your place you'll
be all hunched over in a rocking chair on the front porch yelling at the
neighborhood kid incoherently.
"Rass-if-frasin Lego. Hey you! Kid! Get off my lawn with them damn
Bionicals. Why when I was your age Lego had bricks!. Grumble mumble..."
Personally I like the look of all those 1x2 45 deg slopes gives to the
top of the Hopper Wagon. It gives it a rougher look like a real hopper
car would have. I've built walls of 1x2 corrugated bricks before, and
they don't look too bad. The problem with them of course is if you
overlap them you end up with 1x1s at the ends that aren't corrugated.
