Interesting ... At BricksWest, Brad Justus said several times that
B-units should have three round windows on each side. Yours has two,
but it's faithful to the Lionel model you were basing it on. I wonder
if the Lionel kit or Brad was wrong? Or perhaps there were different
versions over the years?
Also, does the real A unit have a door in the nose? Of course there's
no way to do that in a 6-wide model and have the shape remotely
correct...
