This handdrawn image and the next one shows the calculation for my OcTrainber project. The original traincar has three sections, two car ends, a middle section and doors separating this section. The width of doors will be between 4,5 and 5 studs scaled down using 1:45 ratio, the car lenght is given as 72 studs (as my all UIC-X cars are), so I was in need to split up the remaining 62-63 studs to make sure, that the ratio of car end length and car middle length is 0,75. These lenghts also must be good to SNOT the row of windows, defined by the following sizes:

w1 - large window width

w2 - toilette window width

s1 - door-window separation width

s2 - window-window separation width

s3 - window-car end separation width.

 

The image above shows two possible solution, giving not satisfying results.
