Looking for a whimsical steam locomotive...

[wva-usa]

I'm looking for a whimsical steam locomotive to use with a whimsical sound file. Rather than trying to describe what I'm after, it's probably easier to just post a link to video of a Trainz steam loco using the whimsical sound: The Little Engine that Thought It Could.

Anyone have any ideas about existing Trainz steamers that might fit this role? -- I'd prefer to avoid "Thomas & Friends", etc. -- Suggestion appreciated!

Ideally, the little engine would look something similar to these:

Look on Paulz Trainz website, there's one or two 'whimsical' looking steam locos there.

(Sorry Paul, couldn't resist that!) but seriously, he does have some similar items, it's payware though.

Thanks. What I'd like to find is a Trainz loco that's more a caricature of a locomotive rather that a strict model of something from the real world. A mix of steam-punk combined with the 50s children book look might be nice. Just looking for a Bowker sized steamer to use in a video -- something fanciful -- that would better match the sound effect.

I couldn't recall seeing a loco like that in Trainz, which is why I thought I'd posed the question here. Thanks again. I'll have a look @ Paul's stuff again.

Now this is is why we need a model Of Casey Jr or The little Engine that Could.

Excuse me. I don't know where you can get the Little Engine That Could for Trainz, or anything like that but I was wondering if you could put that enginesound up on the DLS?

Just thought it was great and I would like to have it.

Thanks!!!

LOVE how you did the enginesound in the video! (besides, it was cool seeing my engine in a video!)

Tried the Pioneer? http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?92899-Cumberland-Valley-s-PiONEER-now-on-DLS I know it isn't exactly what your looking for, but if you changed the textures.... (I tried to make it easy to change the textures on this one.

Haven't experimented with it, but you MIGHT be able to change the small front and rear wheel "bogies" with 4 wheel bogies if you look around.

I had that Piper book.
My favorite is the "rusty dusty dingy engine".
