Nice, do you mean clear slopes that are like windshiels, transparent, or like
roof bricks, translucent. If you mean roof bricks I do not think that will
give you the look you want. I do not mean to be presumptuous but you could try
mounting 1x2x2 windows at an angle. Ben ( http://www.pnltc.org/Gal_engines.htm

have both used the technique on our trolleys.

I investigated the angled window idea, i don't think it will work for
the space i have.   I'm going to try the translucent roof bricks though.

When I saw this in the WAMALUG pictures I said, quietly to myself, "Hey, that
look just like one of those cars. What is it for?'

They are used for various things- lumber and sheetrock are two things that
i can think of off the top of my head.  Do they carry pulpwood on these
are am i making that up?
