Nicely done, and very faithful to the prototype. I am really going to study
your techniques of utilizing multiple drivers, because there are some steam
trains that I want to model. (standing on the shoulders of giants:-)

It is indeed a nicely detailed MOC, but I fear you are correct in your gap
assessment. In this case, even though you have incredibly captured that subtle
slope, the gap makes us think that you simply haven't pressed your bricks
together well enough. I actually just faced a very similar design problem in
my latest MOC. It is a Husky stack container car:

Notice the subtle slope along the bottom of the car-- I ended up just ignoring
it. Some things are just too difficult given our physical limitations of the
medium (the bricks)

Very nice looking, and close to the prototype in that brown as well.

I love those rounded bottoms (talking about trains here people;-)
You know, I have to chuckle to myself when I see your 7 wides, because I know
how hard it is working in odd widths, and I think "why doesn't he just made
them 8 wide instead? It would be so much easier!" :-) But it is a credit and
a compliment to your building skill! And HoMa, if you are reading this-- you
are fired from the job of convincing Ben to build 8 wide-- he remains
unconvinced! Perhaps I will have to hire Dirk....:-)
