Ah yes. Didier Enjary showed me that one. One might be able to simulate a more
subtle curve using the new 1x1x2/3 slopes indented slightly or at an angle but I
fear the gains would be minimal as you would lose the true roundness of macaroni
or curves.

Thanks. The bit I was happiest with was the curved window. The doors are
indirectly the result of Erik Amzallag's three fence windows (if you look
throught .build.schleim you can see how). They're inset by 3LDU or about 1/6
stud.

I'll leave that for people who like their trains oversized ;)
