I wonder how far "out" the nose swings beyond the edge of curved track?
Maybe not too much since the nose tapers to 2-wide?
When I first saw pictures of this new passenger train set, I thought the
loc's front canopy window was direct from Alpha Team, but I see now that it
is a slightly different taper at its base. I will like the trans-gray/black
thin-wall windows.

Bob, I like your loc.
What strikes me most is that the painted JS stripes and graphics don't line
up directly with standard LEGO(R) plate thickness. I like the white
turntable(?) bases on the roof-- cool.
