I keep wondering if I will ever be able to try to model something US
train-related. Maybe it's the "Danish" in the brick that keeps me European? ;-)

Personally, I find the double decker train appearance somewhat elegant. Well,
not all the double decker trains. I saw a picture of a greenish-yellow(?)
flat-nose double decker train set. Ick. The newer generations are much
sleeker looking...to me.
White tiles on the trucks are to maintain the white stripe. From the photos I
have seen, some cabs (different models or generations of design)have the white
stripe continue across the front of the cab just above the buffers, so don't.
I simply chose to try for the white stripe across the front look. And, yes, it
is "to get the right look when it's not sitting on a curve".
