If you really want to go nutz, you can chop the nose down to a more scale like length!
I cut about 1/8" out between the cylinder and drivers and then later another 1/8" off the nose and out of the boiler behind the smoke box. Looks much better even though it is still too long lol. Don't think I would cut up a nice one though. I have three so not such a big deal. The flanges are huge on those also.
