   Alban,

I was inspired by your SNOT work on the windscreen to try to use the new 1x1x2/3 slope in replacement of the 1x2 45-deg slope that is either-side of the front windscreen. In CAD, it looks like this:



Notice the 1/2-plate offset between the two 1x1x2/3 slopes. This allows the two slope surfaces to edge-match very cleanly.

The 1x4 by 1x2 bracket is not attractive viewed through the windscreen, but I have not found an alternate solution in the few minutes I thought of this.

I have not tried this in real-brick, and I do not know if these parts exist in the color required. I hope it is a worthwhile solution to eliminate the forward facing stud on the 1x2 45-deg slope.

Another exploded-view is available upon folder moderation.

Very good work, Alban, with one of my favourite electric locos (it was the loco in my first Lima toy train...)

I have a slightly better solution to James’ modification:



and the exploded view:



And yes, James, that slope also exists in dark bley :-)

Ciao,
Gianluca.
BTW, an hint for a “cleaner” side:



that is, use 1 row of snotted tiles instead of 2 plates and a bracket :-P
