I'm looking for some strange, unusual steam locomotives for Trainz. Any help?

Are there any for Trainz? I guess I forgot to mention that initially.
Cab Forward?

For strange British steam locomotives, you can't go past the GWR's broad-gauge locos Thunderer and Hurricane!
They're on the DLS> Get Hurricane, Thunderer, exloco boiler, exloco boiler green and gwrtender. By RickySykes.
What exactly are you after? Unusual looking locomotives? Experimental locos? One-offs? Turbines?

I made a 3 Cylinder 4-10-2, which is somewhat unusual as there were very few made in the US. You can get it at JointedRail.com
You can see the linkage for the 3rd cylinder in this shot

I have only 2 that you can call strange and unusual they top the list.
I do freeware custom modeling and my non real locos are strange and unusual.

Don't think the hinged boiler locos are on the DLS (or anywhere for that matter).
BTW: The ATSF also had some 4-4-6-2's for passenger service with (I think) 77 in diameter drivers.
For many weird locos look though a book called Articulated Locomotives by Lionel Wiener. Quite a old book - the American version was originally published n 1930. Re-published in 1970 by Kalmbach Publishing Co.
To give you an example - - - would you believe an articulated snowplow, lol?

Just about anything. Thanks for the link! I have been looking for some TS12 error free Ben Neal content for a while! Do you plan on doing more?

Knowing how strange some rail stuff can get, I could only imagine what it looks like. lol

Your Big Steam loco is pretty good! Good job! I've been looking for the Old Steam loco on the DLS, but I can only find the tender.

Its on DLS search for DPR Old Engien V2 ( New 1895 ) the other one is DPR Big Steam
The articulated snowplow was called a Winterhaur Articulated Rotary Snow Plough (Switzerland in meter gauge) on the Ch. de fer de la Bernina RR. 29 1/2 inch diameter drivers as an 0-6-6-0. I guessed wrong - it did have a tender though fairly small and only 2 axles. Photo on page 86 and 87 of that book plus a little info on page 88.
There are 100's of weird (to me) locos in this book.

Hi Phil --
"I have been looking for some TS12 error free Ben Neal content for a while! Do you plan on doing more?"
Not at this stage. But you can use those as a template if you want to change others to work in TS12.
One other locomotive that might interest you - the Beyer Garratt:
Just search the Download Station for "Loco SAR 400 Garratt".

I believe Captainkman is working on a few UK one-offs - the LMS Turbomotive and GT3. Jayholland has a model of the articulated chain-drive steam locomotive "Leader" on the DLS-kuid KUID2:381430:2840:1.

Correct. Turbootive can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2P0r5_X8Rk
I haven't started on GT3 but I haven't forgotten about it.
Paul Cass (pcas1986) has made the Lickey Banker locomotive 'Big Bertha'. She's on the DLS.
Now to think of some others.

What is what? Turbomotive was an experimental steam turbine locomotive built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1935:
GT3 was a Gas Turbine built by English Electric in 1961. It was the last Gas Turbine built for British Railways; after evaluating 3 prototypes, BR decided to go with diesel traction. A sad waste of time and effort, especially as GT3 itself is not a bad looker: (it could lose the headcode disks, though)
I hope this has cleared things up for you.
