Thanks for the color suggestion. You should build it! (if you want to)
My 4561 conversion took the form of my Cisalpino model.
(White roof and 1x3x2 thin wall trans blue window parts from two 4561's plus a
green stripe. Six 5925 Adventurer's Swamp Planes to get black 1x2x2 thin wall
airplane window frames. Photos of my 4 car Cisalpino have not been added,
yet. Various other parts.)
I just noticed that Thomas Burger has a monoaxle image:

I think this is an attractive train. I like the complex angle nose with
lights. If only a reality! Oh, the new version, which I've seen before, but
see again:
