Huw,

The accolades are duely pouring over your "wagon repair shop", and I agree.
I can't say much more than has already been said.  Bravo!

I might add one comment and construction technic, if anyone is interested:
I'm not sure if anyone has publicized how to build that round window in a
"fixed-to-studs" construction.

I built a similar window (6 wide) for my station project.  I put a propeller
fan into it's (near) center.  My construction obscurs the "window", but it was
meant to be "blocked" by the fan.  I can imagine one could build around the
hole to keep the view clear.
I can offer detailed photos of my 6-wide circular window, if you like.
Anyone, just let me know, and I'll take some photos.

Just to close back on a better topic:  Huw, awesome train building creation.
Thanks for posting!

later,
James Mathis

I think the thing that I like the most, though, are the round windows.  I • have
a question about them- you say that you used a SNOT technique to get them • in
there, and that was enough of a hint to figure a lot of it out, but are • they
actually connected to anything, or are they merely slid into place?  Are • they
in danger of sliding out somehow, or are they solidly in place by some
ingenious plan I haven't fathomed?

They are just loose and liable to fall out if the building is tipped. But
that doesn't happen easily or often :-)
