The latter, I'm afraid :-) I don't think John's cheating: just playing
to a different set of rules.
I must confess to the attraction of 8 wide. Although 10 wide would be

The thing that bothers me about John's stuff that I've seen in pictures
is that the windows of the passenger stock look too small. This may be
subjective, as I'm not familiar with American trains, but I don't think
train windows are big enough for the job.
