Wow, that's funny I've been working on a similar idea. I want to make a few
models of the local transit trains in Atlanta (MARTA), and they are tapered
at the top and bottom. with the windows tilting in a bit. It's more like the
middle of the coach bulges out. I might have to pick that project back up
and see if we come up with similar results, I'm not sure I like the look of
the hinged side panels for what I'm working on, the trains are very smooth
and plane, the ridges wouldn't look right.
Keep us updated on your progress.

| This is a great project. Good idea, Steve and JT. I've been delaying even prototyping Acela coaches, for this dual tapered issue is applicable to the Acela train coaches, too, and I hadn't thought of anything short of severely hinge-piece and 1x2 (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
