Thanks, Iain! I'll have to check that out next time I'm in the US! The 10x4x2
windows for the top were a no-brainer, but it took me a while to decide on the
8x8 grid plates for the sides. If you look really closely here
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/trains/station/walkway.jpg you'll
notice that it's not a perfect fit - there's a small gap in the white columns
8?( but it holds together OK, and I like the look, so compromise wins again
8?).
