Concept Locomotive Type (Large pics?)

Whos that guy?
Hello All, I am designing a concept Genest Locomotive known as the LBACH 277
It is a cabless remote operation locomotive, paired with a operations caboose. The basic idea behind all of it is that is a aerodynamic, light but yet powerful engine. SO FAR this is the Mesh Exporter Data for the beginning stage-
# Triangles (Polys) = 448
Material Poly Equivalency = 0
Total Polygon Load = 448

Here is a picture or two.

This is without trucks, a horn, headlights, bell, fans

Anybody interested?

For now, I am learning how to export in Blender.

Hmmm... I can't help but be curious. Please, tell us more about this locomotive.
 
Already a redesign:

Export Results:
# Triangles (Polys) = 236
Material Poly Equivalency = 0
Total Polygon Load = 236

Ok- I have added a tad of detail, but taken alot away from it

But. Its good i think
 
It is nice work. I like your concept.

It had a better ring to it in my head... Anyways keep up the good work. And if you happen to decide to do a boxier more freight type genset, let me know, I'll lay down an order in a heartbeat.

Its the LBACH 277, A light and powerful EMD based GENSET- Built on the truck frame of a SD9043Mac, Its like i said- Powerful.
I am not sure what is going to be mounted on it quite yet, or what i may have to do with it. But its a low poly engine!

Similar to this but boxy? Or a cab followed by longhood? PM me with specifications, We will see what can be done
 
It looks like a genset acela replacement. You're thread's doing really well, a reply per view! Can't go wrong with that!

I meant what kind of traffic it's built for (frieght, passenger, mixed), how fast it goes, amount of horse power, etc. In other words, do you have more to the description or specs. Maybe even how you came up with the concept.

I was sitting here looking at my screen and i thought of it.

Its mixed, it is a switching engine. 50 mph maximum, As much horsepower as a SD9043- Its based around that truck basis

Thank you. That's what I was looking for was some background! But I have two more questions: 1) will it be freeware or payware, and 2) were can I download it from when it's done?
 
I dig fictional locomotives (done a couple myself). I think there should be more out there.

Hmmm... I think I might do another.

Yours is looking cool!

Just one question... If it's a switcher, doing yard duty, it wouldn't really need to be aerodynamic would it?

Cheers,

Dave
