Adrian,
Very nice! I attempted a Rheingold coach too, but mine are much simpler. I
couldn't get the stripe across the top of the windows or a recessed door (I
guess in 8 wide it could work). I was a little constrained by brick
availability, the blue-purple (looks like plain blue) only comes in 2x3 low
slope in the McD sets. It took 14 McD sets per car and I made 4 cars plus a
Royal Hudson Steam Engine with tender using the same blue-purple (18 more
McD sets), instead of the "wine" color in the real color scheme. 74 sets
total, 296 slopes, wow I never did the math before! We started to call McD
Happy Meals, Unhappy Meals!

blue-purple (R,G,B) ~= 81,53,144

P.S. Sorry to use your post for self promotion, I just wanted to add to the
thread and I got a bit self indulgent!
