CN Sweep locomotive, a SW1200 with a GP9 hood and prime mover. Ugly, but in such a good way.

Really old and ugly.

This is Not Ugly its like a BDZ DMU and its likea A TE3

Oddly (I suppose?), I have often thought that US engines looked not as harsh as ugly but less than appealing in their shape such as the one beside golfingrobert's name. Of course I do appreciate their are streamlined ones on some passenger trains. The design to me seems more just functional rather than a simple attractiveness. I dare say that it is perhaps more that I am from a different tradition and others in fairness will think them fine. Just a passing thought. Different countries and of course different traditions.

You can't expect a 70 year old badly maintained train to be pretty. It's only logical that it looks like this

A good maintained train of the same series looked like this. And I think it's even somewhat pretty.

Oh we have stuff in Australia thats even worest than that NSW City Rail K set but if I posted them you would all go blind

here have a look at our C sets

Some of our trains are good and some are bad but they all could use a proper colour scheme instead of sliver with an obnoxious logo on the side

No offence, that's meant to be ugly? Looks decent to me.

Still, we aren't all the same are we?
Different tastes and all..

For billing themselves as the "Standard Railroad of the World" the Pennsy sure had a lot of weird, one of a kind locomotive types.
Sorry for quoting the pic but this is a prime example.

School bus subway inspection car:

 

[MeowRailroad]

Wow, is that actually a school bus?!? It looks so awesome! What is the point of having that many lights!

 

[whitepass]

It's a subway inspection car, it gets very dark in a subway.

 

[MeowRailroad]

I would think so, OH! They need more lights because they are inspecting it rather than simply driving!:hehe:I can't believe I didn't understand that. And what I meant was, was it actually a school bus that was made into a car?
