I like the 26 length but I think 8 is too big of a width, was thinking more like 5 (maybe 6), otherwise the furniture placement will be too out of proportion. For a 5 deep dining car you could have 2 grid dining tables on each side with a 1 grid walkway between tables, which would be more realistic to a real train. And for sleeping cars, you could have a 1 space hallway and each bedroom could be 4 deep. Picture if it's 8 wide, you would have a 4 grid walkway between tables and that wouldn't be so much like a train. 6 would give you a 2 grid walkway which would be ok too if you guys liked this size better. And thinking about where the entrance doors would go, maybe the 6 deep might work better to fit in doors (unless the doors will be on the ends? Just my opinion though. :)

As far as lot size, we would definitely need the 30 long to accommodate a long train car, but I don't think you can get any narrower of a lot going with the 30 length.

Look forward to your thoughts.

P.S. I'm a bit confused on the French restaurant names, isn't this a Venice train? :)

Never mind, I just rewatched the video on the train and I see now that the restaurant cars are named that, lol. My bad!

And looking at the real train again, the dining cars have a 2-seater table on one side and a 4-seat table on the other with a narrow aisle. So we could even go with a 4-tile width!! haha lol

I was thinking of sleeping cars being three wide - just enough room for a bunk or loft bed and letting the aisle be two wide so sims could pass each other easily. And, yes, I like a 2 grid walkway idea. I'm a person who loves to double wide a stairway and make entrances with either two single doors or a double because... Murphy's law! Two sims will try to go through at the same time and one will go all the way around to the back entrance if there isn't another one right there. BUT, I'm open to realistic over routing if you all prefer that.
