:) Yeah, I took one look at it with the stickers and said "yep". The only
hesitation was when my hands went to peel the backing off the stickers... so
I figured I'd use the excuse that I'll wait to get TCS approval (tonight)
before stickin' em on...

Actually, I think you're definitely right. Clear stickers just work better
(mostly because they're made from different material) than white stickers.
The only problem being that most printers don't print white ink :( And of
course the other tricky part is matching up the green color of the print
with the green color of the train-- although I found the RGB on Mosaic Maker
worked pretty gosh darn well...

Yeah, when I made it I really didn't intend for it to go around our layout
unless I could get it 6-wide, just because there were a couple places where
6-wide barely worked last time... Mostly I think it'll be a 'display' piece
(and it can "help" other trains) rather than running around the track...
