Thanks, Chris. The windscreen idea came from Dan Siskind. Here is a pic
from our last show of an Amtrak F45 he did:
http://www.gmltc.org/gmltc_02-02-02/pages/PullingintoStation.htm
Mine was really made possible by the advent of a new Racers piece, a red 2x4
angled plate used as a spoiler in many of the sets. It defines the angle
for the windscreen nicely. The windscreens are not actually locked down,
but one end is rested up on a tile in the middle to attempt to mimic the
sloping of the F7 windows. The windshield from the 10020 is too vertical to
model an F7, or at least it needs to be buried a bit IMO. I do have a
version of one I did at first, but abandoned it for a number of reasons.
I'll see if I can get a pic up of it.
