Didn't one of the Shinkansen trains use a very similarly hideous nose design?

I've been wondering about the technical side of Mehano trains ever since I first came aware of the existence of the brand (and wrote a Wikipedia article about them). I mean, model trains from Slovenia sounds like a joke, but I've heard that some of them aren't half bad. A lot of them occasionally pop up on ebay, going for what appears to be the german equivalent of a nickel.
