Hey all,

I've noticed a detail on EMD Fs, Alco FA/PAs, etc (called Cab units,
right?), that never seems to get modeled.  The door on the nose of the
engine.  I know K-Line recently made an E7 with a working door in O-gauge,
which is actually where I found out about it.  Has anyone ever modeled the
door successfully in brick?

Not opening.  However, on my Via F unit, it has 2 1x4 tiles on the nose to
simulate the door.  Problems I can see are that they opened outwards, and are
only ~1 stud wide or at most 2.  (most had a 2 part door).  Hinging would be a
problem using standard lego bits.
