Super ugly loco...I'd rather have a BL&T on rye
It is much better on White bread
simulatortrain
jointed freaking rails
I still don't understand why people think these are so ugly...
They were an innovative design (which didn't achieve its design purpose of a high visibility locomotive, but still.) Besides that, they just have darn good lines. Give me a BL2 over a GP7 any day.

Ok, wait a moment. Depends on what kind of GP7 it is (High nose or low).
If its a high nose GP, then yes, BL2 over it. But if its a low nose, it beats the BL2 by alot.

Maybe, but nobody said ugly was a bad thing.

Which BL-2 are you referring to? There are several on the DLS (all listed as "BL2"). Do you have a kuid #?

Low nose sucks from a railfan perspective, but they are sure nice when you're operating.

Ah, but that just depends on what your favorite line is:hehe: ...
Edit: Common, how can you not like these (ex Sante Fe) GP-7 low noses?

The BL-2 Ugly??
HUMM I always thought they were a real beauty to look at!
BUT as they say, beauty is only skin deep. When in Wisconsin a few weeks ago I was allowed to look in the engine bay and cab of their two BL-2's in Green Bay. UGHHHHHH I would not wany to be a mechanic on them, unless I was a 4ft 10" Romanian Gymnist!
My short term goal though is to make skins for all the real world BL-2's that were around,, Just awaiting the hopeful permission from the originator of the model.
Only one other I am thinking of too. a "what if" The Nevada County Narrow Gauge had survived WWII and finally standard gauged up as was at one time planned.

might be back?
First of all, screw you. How dare you insult my baby.
Second, I worked on this loco for a bit. The logo says "Wayne County Chamber of Comerce." around a sillouhette of the Stourbridge Lion and an outline of Wayne county.
As for the BL2s on the DLS. There are two that work. The Florida East Coast one by Bdaneal, and the Wanger and Wingersheek(or something like that) by Gfisher.
Sadly, the Western Maryland BL2s were uploaded in a broken state and are missing ALOT of files. I will probably do a few BL2 skins soon and release them, WM included. (BTW, I fixed the texture issue with the WM bl2s, but then the locos wouldn't run right. Don't ask me why. It would probably be best if I just redid the textures on them in my own skin.)

I have some new plans in for the BL-2 and am starting to fist gmax her just a hair differently, Fan animations and such. Just little tweaks.
