Thats when they were High Tech machines
WOW ! The Canal period was just ending in 1815, and this is the brand new High Tech 1832 model locomotive !

...No, I'm NOT Talking about your Mother... :hehe::hehe:
This is a Proto-Talk Thread for Old, and Typically Ugly Steam Locomotives that Ran early on in Railroad History...
I'll Start it off:
That B&O #80 is the camel-back of all camel-backs! That's hideous!

That cab is really high up in the air...higher than the train would be...great for switching views of the train cars.
Thats when steam was really being shaped...by the industrial revolution...

It's just so terrible that even if there was a perfect photo-realistic version for Trainz, I would still hate it and never run it! Super goofy.

Was That Iron Duke?
I'm not sure if this counts, since I'm not really sure what it is.
But it's really weird!

I know it's Hungarian, the MAV 10025, and I think it's a 2-2-0. The cylinder above the boiler appears to be the equivalent of a steam dome, but don't quote me on that.

That's either a Brotan or Flaman boiler there.

Tokkyu40 Nice one! I think the Mav 10025 looks good in a "Swiss watch" kind of way ..see the valve gear. Mathew888 I think the Iron Duke (restored/replica) is a 4-2-2, though I could be wrong? Sampug394s Centrally heated office on the boiler or room with a view nos. 80, is very interesting. The other pictures are good enough for a new Wiki album, "The odd, the ugly, and the weird?" thanks for the pics. (Please excuse the all in one post).

Iron Duke as I know it was a class of Great Western Railway (UK) 7ft gauge 4-2-2 express locos, among them was 'Lord of the Isles'.
It was also a battleship.

Thanks Whistlehead and quite correct. I found this, may be of interest?. The Iron Duke (replica) in Bristol, from the Iron Duke class. I have a weakness for these early and some may say ugly locos. But I like "the shiny brass bits" and they form a very interesting part of rail history.

Thanks for the links. The MAV is definitely a Brotan. According to the article, MAV used several of them.
It looks a lot like the Austrian boilers. The sample Hungarian locomotive is so big that the upper chamber is swallowed by the main boiler.
That Class 375 looks pretty impressive. 50 years of production is a long time for a steam engine.

Evil!!!! Nothing from the Cumberland Valley could possibly be ugly! It's a law of nature!
