Not the whole site. Compressed air engines are relatively ugly. However, the petrol engines I like myself.

Oops, I missed those. Yes, they are pretty cute.

Don't get me started and i don't even know why this was even developed.
Seriously, "it" looks like a GP38 on steroids and tried to blend in, but 1 major flaw? Anyone?
I love those things!

For some reason, I really liked that shot. The grime looks great! :hehe: I don't like the graffiti though. I do like the multiple electric tracks I'm seeing.
I came across this one the other day...
The more I look at it, the more it appeals to me (slightly) but the number board and lights that jut out are really are a wart on her!
This is not my shot nor do I claim it to be mine.
:wave:

Actually, the pneumatic mining locomotives are a bit of a favorite for me right now. We need some for the coal mines and saw mills around the Trainz layouts.
Blasphemy against the new Tohoku Shinkansen! It may not have a smoke stack, but it's probably the fastest train in revenue service.What about this thing?

Jaleel has a set of plans, but he hasn't been active for a while.(And likes trams better anyway)

hey the 4cors were a great emu and did you know that because of the rough riding of the units the driver sat in a hammock not on a seat
Well considering they got it back asswards (although the Metro North "Executive" paint doesn't look too bad on them). Go figure, they do an excellent job with the McGinnis paint on the P32's but this looks like Brookfield visited all the different locomotive manufacturers and asked for parts. In my opinion, the MTA should've just overhauled the GP8/9/35's and FL9's instead of ordering the BL20's. Ooo well, atleast you don't have to see them everday haha. Of course lately I think an FL9's been running the upper Harlem but I'm not possitive. I deffinetly know the Waterbury and Danbury lines has the FL9's and F10's sidelined. It's hard to see them be phased out by such garbage.

Oh, by the way, the horn mounted on the side is a Metro North thing with their work locomotives, it has to do with the catenary on the New Haven Line. Not a bad sounding horn, but the electric bell is blaaah. The cabs are very nice though
Just found this "delightful" australian loco.

The railway must've thought the country was expecting a blizzard and built a locomotive to plow on double-duty :hehe:
sorry cool matty that locomotive is actully japenense not australian because if it was it would be in leon oberg's book called locomotives of australia and it isn't.
Actually, I did hear that the Tasmanian Railways once fitted one of their locos (I think it was a Q class) with experimental streamlining like the Victorian S class Pacifics. Apparently though the project was a failure and it didn't last long. However, I don't think that photo is of the Tassie loco in question (the loco in that photo looks vaguely like a British A4 gone wrong). Still damn ugly though.
JNR is Japan National Railways. I've seen pictures of the streamlined C43 and like the looks of it. If I could build locomotives it would definitely be on my list.
ClaudeIf you want to know how to turn a good looking loco bad then look to British Railways.

The crosti bolier didn't do the 9Fs, a nice loco to begin with, any good.

If you want to know how to turn a good-looking American loco bad, then look no further than the BQ23-7. I just found this today, and it's hideous!

The B23-7 looks good by itself, but I'm afraid this ruins it.
