First of all, I REALLY like what you've done, especially with the logo.
Now, on to the nits :-)
To fix the "camel-hump" I'd delete the top row of slopes (but keep the
inverse slopes!) and use a layer of plates and / or tiles to model the upper
radiator area. You'd lose the contour along the upper edge but that's just
a limitation of the medium. A lot of what we do (in ALL modelling - Lego
and otherwise) involves approximation and suggestion whenever it's
impossible to create an exact duplicate.
I think 2x3 and 4x3 slopes would work much better for the cab roof,
especially if you were able to lower it by a plate or two. You'd also need
to move the horns forward onto the nose.
Finally, move the bogies in (towards the center) and use black 1x2 plates w/
ladders on each corner for the steps.
