1.why aeroplane windows? where are they used in the train world?

Sleepers. Everyone builds coaches because that's what we have the
windows to build, but there were a lot of sleepers in the heyday of
passenger trains.

Also dining car kitchen windows, bathroom windows, porter's office
windows, etc. etc. etc. Go look at some prototypes. Go look at the
sleeper on my website (it's the cutaway view car) and visualise it with
rounded corner windows. Trains use rounded corner windows. We need a
good assortment of different sizes. Without new element engineering, the
airplane windows (single, please, not the doubles) are our only small
round corner window.

2.for a sticker sheet have the folowing:
8 lined stickers for the window glass.
2 each of:
yellow bottom for the doors
red bottom for the doors
white stripe for the doors
red/white/blue stripe for the doors
blue bottom half for the doors
as for color id vote for grey

Forget the stickers. Too dilutive.

i think a second pack later with more of the sepcial train pieces sich as the
nose pieces would be good

Get the first pack first. Focus, focus, focus.

Larry's right. In fact, if you want to get picky, look at the American prototype Pullman coaches. The windows are not as big proportionally as TLG has made their train window. I would say a 2x4 train window would be closer. European coaches seem to (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
