Here's an idea pending you might buy some yellow windows and lots of • 1x4x1.3
1/4-curve-top bricks.  It sure is easy to build the impossible in LDraw.

James, I wondered if you'd rise to the challenge! That is excellent! I • have
been inundated with offers of 2x2 yellow windows, so I'll give something
based on your design a go at some point

How are the vertical 1x6 black plates fixed at the bottom?

If only one could get 1/4 curved top pieces in the quantity required to do
this sort of thing. I managed to get 30-odd at the Red Letter Day in blue • at
LEGOLand Windsor recently, but even that wouldn't be enough for a 4-coach
train.

It would be if you made a REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY short one! ;-)
