Yes, tan train windows (like the ones the guys in Windsor got) would be
awesome... especially for all those two-tone European coaches with tan and dark
(brown|green|red|blue|purple...) color on the bottom! Also the US street
cars/trolleys too.
I really don't know implementation details about LEGO factory but the "train"
elements we suggested would have to be used in conjunction with an assortment of
basic building elements (and the dozen or so train specific elements) in order
to build any trains.
