So far, NO!!
The R-143 doesn't have the characteristic bullet front sign, putting what is essentially a luminator sign on the front of it.
Those are really bad. R-110b's have big bullet signs, and I figured that the R-143 would have the bullet sign too. With a bullet, I can see what train is pulling in before it's even in the station. But, not with those luminator thingamajigies. Those things are the only thing that I hate about R-32's. And R-32's weren't built like that, so I can't fault BUDD.
