Tim,
Thanks for the comments.
The picture I posted is black and white to hide some of the off colored parts I
have had to temporarily use. The real train under went a few changes in its'
life, as most do. I am trying to model it as delivered - 3 cars with wheel
cowlings. The train was golden brown and canary yellow. The front grill was
painted brown. Here is a color painting of the prototype:

Brown was out of the question for the real brick model. I will make an Ldraw
file and render it in brown. I am building in red and yellow. I originally had
the grill in grey, but after looking at some photos I decided to make it the
same as the rest of the the body, red.
I have been thinking about how to build the front for a long time. The nose is
mostly snot. I am very hapy with the shape.
The model has shared trucks and runs well (fast). I was excited and wanted to
post something even though it is not yet finished. I will post more pictures
and Ldraw files as I completed them.
