No thunder here. This isn't that creative of a train, but thanks. This
windshield orientation use goes back over a year with some one else using
the the 4561 train's more angular windshield for a city tour bus. New
piece; same use.
Agreed, not very prototypical. But, here is an example of the real-world
inspiration:

I really like Dave Vinzant's curved front construction. I'd like to see how
that looks on this Alpha Team canopy nose as a lower contoured bumper.
I haven't noticed this fender piece in .dat form. Have any of you?
