A bit about me before I ask this question...I made my first Lego engine about 7 years ago from spare bricks I had laying around the house...I did my best to make it minifig scale, but she wasn't clean and pretty since it used old, dirty bricks...
Fast forward a few years, with technology on my side and I have a fleet of engines inside of LDD...which comes to my question...
How do you make 6 wide engines in minifig scale, that fit its crew? I have tried and failed too many times to count, to get 4 figures seated inside of my engines.
I recently made a larger 8 wide which to me, looks better anyways, since its more realistic in size than the cartoony narrow engines 6 bricks wide, and it comfortably fits all 4 fire fighters. However the windshield on that engine has been my second issue...Lego doesn't make a 2 x 8 x 2 windscreen (they NEED TO!!!) so I have the standard 2 x 6 x 2 with a 2 x 2 angled piece on either side forming the corner of the cab, but it looks a little silly to me...
I am at work right now, but I will link to screenshots of my LDD design when I get home today and get your opinions...maybe I am missing something...
