Ben,
You'll never need to us the Jack Stone Lego - I've personally seen what you
can do with regular bricks!
I do think train windscreens are one of the hardest parts to make though -
particularly if like to stick to 6-wide. Most trains have complex curved
glass (either for aerodynamics or just for styling reasons), even Steam
locos are difficult in Lego as black windows are so rare!
The Super Chief uses a reasonable windscreen - but its not really like an
F-series EMD locomotive (someone has done some MOCs of Alco FA Units using
the same windscreen, which is very convincing though).
I'm sure you'll find a solution though Ben!
