Cool, I remember when I realized that the 6x8 ultra low slope was the perfect
slope for a box car roof. It occurred to me right about the time that the box
cars were being sent to the PNLTC 2K event. Then I remembered that you used that
slope in your 14-wides. From 8- to 14-wide, that is a big step to take due to a
perfect brick.
