Sure is a lot of corrugated. Wow!
Kevin has made a really nice train set with this train.

I like the dark gray inverse slopes. Have you tried installing the same
1/4-curved-top bricks that you use for the roof on underside of the train cars?
They'd need to be flipped upside-down: mounted "studs-facing-down". You'd
only have the color choice of black or gray, but you would have the curvature.
Maybe that's not the proper curve? Maybe dark gray is best? Dunno.
The train set looks great regardless!

Me neither!
