How would YOU model this shape?

Hi folks. While I have been a Moi user for many years, I am not the greatest designer of organic shapes. I would like to build a large scale, ride on model of this locomotive, and plan to 3D print the nose section. Unfortunately, I can't get the forward section of the locomotive drawn correctly in 3D space. The "bulldog" shape of the nose is very distinctive and recognizable, and I want it to be as close the the prototype as possible.

Can anyone offer help, guidance, or suggestions? Thank you!

Chris
