Oddest locomotive Ever...

[magickmaker]

I can't find the real pic of it, but this loco (in Voodoo RR colors) that I've drawn, actually existed at one point. The story as I remember it, was that a Mexican railroad had two locomotives. One GP9, one F7 which were involved in an accident. The rear of the F unit was demolished, and the cab of the GP. Someone on their shops thought "hey why not combine the two" and created this locomotive.

Don't know about you, but I'd love to see one in Trainz wouldn't you?

Build it and they will download.

ever heard of the CF-7?

 

[magickmaker]

Yeah, but those were built using whole F7's. This was built from two different locomotives.

what about the GG1 electric that had an accident.. the bad half was cut off and the other half was made into an electric switcher iirc

 

[BLACKWATCH]

If you want "odd", how about this one. it had 4 main engines.

 

[magickmaker]

What is that? It looks vaguely like a Class 37...but with much larger noses.

I've got a 37 model, sound and all (Hornby) but have yet to build a route for it. Took me FOREVER to get sent here to the US, but eh. What can I say. I love foreign power.

It appears to be a class 37 (in old BR colours), with shunter bogeys (trucks to Americans), and possibly power, judging by the four engines comment.

This apparently is the same loco,but in BR green.

The loco is on it's way to Willesdon in 1954.
It is the BR/Paxman/Fell 2,040hp DM 4-4-4-4 No. 10100 built at Derby works in 1952.

Somehow, I suspect that people are going to flood the content creators with requests for that Loco now...

It ws an experimental prototype. Check here...

Very technical!
Still, there will always be experimental engines, and if someone builds a test of any of these, then I will give them a go!

I've got a set of drawings for the Fell loco if anyone is serious about making it.

PS Surely the Bullied "Leader" must be a good candidate for the oddest loco ever?

 

[Midland]

Yes,yes, yes!!

But was it pronounced leeder or ledder? :hehe:



Cheers

[magickmaker]

leeder.

You know, the Leader could have worked. There were some design flaws, but by the time it came out the BR was pretty much set in its idea to get rid of steam.

They're nowhere near the oddest, but they're sure as hell odd...

Gotta love the ACE.

The transfer locomotives are a bit strange. The concept was what? It looks to me like they wanted to stick two locomotives under one hood.

The idea for a transfer loco was to have a lot of low speed pulling power on a single frame that didn't need to be turned, hence the center cab.
