I don't think it's a "given" simply by moving the cab forweard 10 feet. Any visibilty improvement would be negligible. There's just not much visibility to begin with on most steam engines, no matter where the cab is placed (cab-forwards excluded). Visibility doesn't have much to do with firebox size.
