"Komach, you would need a monster basement. One of these cabs could be a tool shed in your back yard with plenty of space for the dog to spend the night as well. Or if you really want to get creative, you could plate over the windshields and cover the back - voila, you have the world's first F45 smoker. With this, you could make ribs and smoked meats all day long. Call me when it's ready."
Yeah, I have a rough idea of how big those things are. There was an article in Model Railroader back in the mid '90s about a guy (Dentist) who bought the cab of an E or F unit and put it down in his layout room. It was cut at the bulkhead between the cab and electrical cabinet and just below the floor. And, yes, it had the nose.
Here's a pic I found on the trains.com site...

That's what I'm talking about.
Although, the smoker idea isn't a bad one either...
