That's certainly the closest I've seen to a head-on shot of a 22. I see what you mean about the bottom of the cab-side window, but I do wonder if the effect isn't exaggerated by the angle of the rain strip? Still, if it's in the drawings then it probably is there!

I've only just come across your blog, but I'm currently in the process of finishing off my own Worsley Works N gauge Class 22. You've certainly put far more care into it than I have, although I'm still very happy with the result I've achieved so far!

However...are you sure about the tapered nose? From all the photos I have, the body appears to be straight. You can see this by examining the line of the body against the valance. At the top of this page for example, it seems to be a pretty much straight line along the entire length of the body?
