Yeah, that'd be great looks-wise, although it would unfortunately make the
doors a little too wide for the current model size... Actually, what I
really wanted to use were the 1x4x3 train windows in white for the regular
windows, and use the 1x2x3 white windows for the more front-ish windows
(you'll notice that I'm actually missing a set of windows RIGHT up next to
the ends of the train). But unfortunately, I have NONE of any of those
windows, so I made due with what I had, which I think still turned out OK.
Although if S@H offered train windows in white, I'd buy up two of the soccer
set in a hurry as well as 16 of the train windows in a heartbeat just to
complete it...

They are even fairly common now that they
have appeared in a soccer set or two...

Very nice work for a first attempt!  Welcome to the addictive world of train
modeling;-)

Thanks :) Maybe we can get a series of Boston subway cars for the upcoming
train show :)
