Some design ideas for a carriage roof, trying to get those shallow curves without using slopes or stacked plates: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1088848 A view of the components: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1088849 For you 8-widers, just add 2-stud wide bricks down the middle.
