ugly trains

anything from england that is electric, union pacific(billboard yellow that is) PENN CENTRAL, old canadian national barf green, the list goes on
All the new electric trains in the UK like the Class 450 look cool, but the old ones from the 1960s look like they've been made out of scrap, like this:

BR Class 421.

I'm glad they're all out of service, but still, they were a good symbol of our heritage.

In my opinion, the best-looking British train is this:

BR Class 390.

Only problem with the Class 390s is that my laptop skidded off the table when it tilted on a bend near Berkhampstead -.- And this was before they tweaked the TASS system on them.

It's a work of Art!!

Of course, I never was one for modern art. Maybe if they put some bushes around it to hide it, it might look better.

:cool: Claude
 
WTF

That thing is even miles beyond "cosmetically challenged"!

Well, at least we know the "ugly stick" hasn't been sitting around doing nothing...

that is because it looks like a duck.

The Japanese Bullet Train (Shinkansen) Series 700? It so does not look like a duck! Do you see Yellow on the bill... No! You should never insult this train in front of me! It's one of my favorite trains next to the N700! :cool:

Well, if that's the way you feel about it, then thepacesetter is right . . . IT DOES LOOK LIKE A DUCK!:D

(Sometimes, you just have to pour a little more gasoline on the fire.):hehe:

I like the series 700. When I went to Japan I never rode it, but I rode some of the other Shikansens. On the side of the platform where the Series 700 went by they have gates because the 700 goes by so fast you will get sucked in if you are two close.

Too much smog...

Oh, come now, so long as you can still see the train, you can never have enough smoke!
Case in point:
