Thanks for all the positive comments, guys, but no - I fully acknowledge tank engines are supposed to be ugly so this fits right in. But as I said, as a cab forward it is just unredeemably ugly and I'm tired of working on it - not going to spend a day convering it back to cab in the rear, but instead move on to another project.
As I said, onto the highest shelf. Here it is as it will be forever: way, way in the back corner, where I won't notice it much.
