John,
Much better! Now, are you going to make a pullman? You could use either
the 1x1 brick with the side stud, or if you want something a little bit
bigger, you could use a 1x2x1 trans. thin wall mounted sideways for a tall
window or a 1x1 clear brick sideways for a slightly shorter and wider
window.

| (...) No, I'm going to do my taxes;-) (...) Actually, at this scale, I think a plain ol' 1x1 and 1x2 clear bricks would make good passenger windows. And, for those portholes, a 1x1 or 1x2 technic brick would suffice. But Uncle Sam beckons... -John (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
