That first shot is a really beautiful picture. Yes, it is very similar in
shape- and modeling the wedge looks like a good challenge. I would assume
that it is tapered to give the engineer a better rearward view from the cab.
The FP45 looks like it has no rear view at all. I believe that they
commonly are used in reversed pairs or triples with a B unit in between.

Heh- I chose this prototype because the nose and the full width body looked
easy to model. A 1-stud-wide walkway doesn't strike me as terribly useful
for minifigs to do maintenance, and a 1-stud-wide door from the cab to the
walkway seems even less useful. Even so, my next locomotive will probably
be open on the sides.
