Very true. I'm not completely satisfied with the windscreen.
I have considered using older style 1x2x2 house windows in gray from my 7740
locomotive. I'd have to figure out a way to set them at a slight angle and
figure out a way to flank either side with green bricks.
The next closest standard LEGO window element that I'd try to use would be the
exclusive black-framed windows from the yellow/black locomotive in the 9volt
Freight Rail Runner train set. But, still, that doesn't do it exactly right,
either.
