By the way, I can now do 1/10 stud offsets!  It's a bit small to look any
good, but it's possible.  You use a 2x1 plate with centre stud.  That sets
you 1/2 a stud, or 5/10, back from the normal row of studs.  Then you fit a
technic twin-hole brick on that with a plate pushed into the side, which is
2/5 (or 4/10) of a stud out.  So, 5/10 - 4/10 = 1/10.  Then, use short pins
in the side of another technic twin-hole brick, or a 2x1 hinge brick, to
attach  your wall to the plate.  This might be hard to fit in 6-wide though.

Can you post some pics? I would love to see this!!

Right, take a look at these pictures.  I've set up a row of 1x2 bricks, each
set 1/10 of a stud further back than the last:

Anything from 1/10 to half a stud of recess could be concealed inside a
6-wide wagon.
