Hi, I'm more than open to not numbering those cars, if you do not wan't to, but I would like to include the canon cars, like the Gallery in the list, even if the number is CXXXX, as otherwise it won't corresponds to the train, as we will make separate article for every car, once more information is aviable, or we have time to process it. If you are not convinced, visit the website yourself. You can clearly make official designs from non-official, as the official designs all have captions "about the car" and do not have artist names attached, as they were done by production artists.
The fact that the train is 10 miles long and having 1001 cars is the biggest issue. Ther are two main ways how you can look at the train. You can use the CGI model, and then you have a width of about 5.4 meters with a length of about 50 meters per car. Or you can just do the math and get 16 meters. It's important to point out that in that case, the train will not physically work, as it will be too small for the Interior and the Exterior to match. You can check by simply drawing a basic car, make it 16 cm long, and try making any sense of it. For example, each car has 2 bogies with 5 wheels on each side. Meaning that for the car to even be possible, it would have to be way longer than 16 meters. I've encountered this when I was perspective-projecting a 3D model car to get as best results as possible. The car simply cannot be physically 16 meters long. This is a common mistake in basically any Science Fiction, that the official measurements, the interior, and the exterior do not correspond to each other. We will just simply live with the fact. Even the Showrunners admit this, as they said they build a set about 12 meters (40 feet) wide, to accommodate the non-CGI cows. Let's just say that the train certainly does not have a gauge of 12 meters, so the sets are as arbitrary in length and width as they need be, with no real consequences to the outside. While this might be frustrating to some, we will have to get used to using two/three sizes, depending on if we are talking about math, CGI, or interiors.
It might be of interest to you, that this (picture included) was once the CGI scale of the train.
