My outtake on the window problem:
Yeah, the indenting should be included. It would not only get rid of the huge gap between the window frames, but would make it more visually appealing as well. You can make it so that the windows are thin by masking it with the indent. If you don't know what I just said, just refer to the picture. Would add a few extra faces, but it'll look better.
However, I don't see an easy solution with the doors though, because there isn't an effective way to mask the gap without detracting from the visual experience. The door looks nice along with the texture, it's just that the gap is REALLY noticeable. If you leave the gap in there, I wouldn't mind cause the train looks crazy.
By the way, the sticker on the cab door looks like a vandal tried to rip it off or something. If that was the effect that you intended to portray then it looks nice lol.

As for the animation process, are you guys going to make it so that it's similar to the 38. One key to switch the front rollsign/Letter on the LCD screen and another for the destinations. That's probably the most efficient way to do it in my opinion.
Every looks great so far!
