and compressionism just don’t respect the scale... I’m curious about how do
the LEGO train community feel with compressionism ?

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I see it as just about mandatory to do
anything useable, and still have bricks left over. Replicating every window,

For instance in my diner I have only 3
tables, seating for 6... not very prototypical but it’s still a diner and
evokes the feel of the Super Chief diner.

Just a thought, brought on by you mentioning leaving windows out.
Some European HO manufacturers compress the length of long coaches in HO. They
do this by having the basic scale of 1:87 but having the length modelled to
1:100. this means that there are (for example) the correct amount of windows but
they are all narrower. Personally I wouldn’t buy them, however my question is:
is it better to compress length by having less windows or the correct number of
narrower ones?
