Wow, that is a nice color scheme. I really like the color on the engine. I
wonder if the cars would look better if the blue between the doors went down as
low as the doors. (instead of bumping up and down around the doors.

Thank you very much- I'm really happy with this train.  I did try running
the blue all the way across between the doors, but I like this arrangement
better.  Mileage may vary, of course.

I had actually intended to stripe the doors white on the bottom two bricks,
but I changed another part of the design in midstream and had to work around
it.  As is often the case, the "accidental" design is far nicer than
anything I would have intentionally done.

I do have a mail/baggage car planned for some point, and I will try
modifying the striping a little bit.  I'd really like to do another
double-decker as well, but the white 1x2 slopes and all the little plates
are killing me.  This kind of striping is very part-intensive.
