Wimp!! Actually I have come to think stickers are OK (Heck I gave you the .gif
for the NELUG sticker :-). I definitly think this is one of those OK time.
One hint though, You might want to make the background of the train where you
apply the sticker White. I found that with clear stickers these work best. Of
course if you are using colored stickers I guess it doesn't much matter.

All looks great to me. Just quite giving so many props to 8 Wide! While your
Greenline looks great it is going to look a little silly with 6 wide trains and
an 8 wide subway running at our next train show :-). I don't want to have to
go 10 wide on my trains just so the subway looks in scale :-).
Really it looks great though.
