Alban,
I was inspired by your SNOT work on the windscreen to try to use the new
1x1x2/3 slope in replacement of the 1x2 45-deg slope that is either-side of
the front windscreen. In CAD, it looks like this:
Notice the 1/2-plate offset between the two 1x1x2/3 slopes. This allows the
two slope surfaces to edge-match very cleanly.
The 1x4 by 1x2 bracket is not attractive viewed through the windscreen, but I
have not found an alternate solution in the few minutes I thought of this.
I have not tried this in real-brick, and I do not know if these parts exist
in the color required. I hope it is a worthwhile solution to eliminate the
forward facing stud on the 1x2 45-deg slope.
Another exploded-view
is available upon folder moderation.
later,
James Mathis

Very good work, Alban, with one of my favourite electric locos (it was the loco
in my first Lima toy train...)
I have a slightly better solution to James’ modification:
and the exploded view:
And yes, James, that slope also exists in dark bley :-)
Ciao,
Gianluca.
BTW, an hint for a “cleaner” side:
that is, use 1 row of snotted tiles instead of 2 plates and a bracket :-P
