I think he was talking about the windows down the side.
You also can't turn crocodile ends upside down as they are full-height pieces.
However, it does look like there's a green train windscreen on the crane truck
you could invert.
For windows as small as the ones in the side of that engine though, you'd be
hard pressed to get rounded corners. You may just have to settle for clear
bricks, particularly if you're trying to do it all in green.
You could try a SNOT arrangement where you use clear (maybe old, slightly fuzzy
clear bricks) for windows, then use SNOT plates at either end not quite as high
as the window, to give the appearance of rounded ends. It would be a
complicated arrangement, and the clear parts would be broken up by lots of
edges.
There are a lot of 1x2x3 train window frames around, but on their side they'd be
much longer than you need, and you'd have to put up with a vertical bar in the
glass near one end (that, and clear glass for these is rare and expensive).

| Ah, the cab windows seemed harder to pull off than the side windows, which is why I focused on those. For the nose though, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to use the new window on the crane car in the freight set. I didn't mean the Krokodil (...)
