ugly trains

[gisa]

I like the shape, although it could have been streamlined more. It's the colouring that makes it look bad though.

:wave:

The CN Turbotrain should be reskinned in PRR paint scheme...lol...I recall the Turbotrain being available as freeware in Trainz somewhere.

And The PRR Baldwin Transfer centercabs were quite a knarly looking locomotive indeed.:hehe:

A pretty girl will promise to love you forever, and will probably leave you...marry an ugly girl, and she'll never leave.

The CN Turbotrain is available here: http://www.pikkarail.com/trainz/index.htm :wave:

There is also a version in VIA rail and Amtrak scheme.

The trains had potential but were doomed c/o failures, tracks, marketing and were noisy c/o engine turbines. Oh well...

:wave:

Not so much ugly more unique and I'd love some kind sole to make these for Trainz. I give it a go myself but I need way more practice

Thing is, I actually like most of those trains.

Offense

subways are just kinda ugly in general. I mean, they are useful, but still ugly.

Subways are AWESOME. Look at the R40!!! It looks like the supertrain! Only not as streamlined.

 

[legolistic]

any metro that has a slanted front. To me, It looks more like an EMU than a subway that way etc: Bombardier mkII. (sorry R40s.. its only an opinion.)

Anybody seen this movie? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_Tale_%28film%29

The engine in it(I think it was that movie) looked quite freaky!

Yes that was an ugly locomotive, but I did like the pilot on it though, an eagle with a link in his mouth for coupling. I thought that was cool.

Rock On!

That engine has some "character". The ugliest engine I have ever seen was, hmm, I may have to think about that.

Yeah, that was quite clever! Now if someone could get some pics of that engine...

And I'm sure Lionel fired whoever thought this would be successful:

Actually, that's not so bad. I could see why they'd paint it that way. After all, why limit model railroading to just guys. Not sure if it sold or not...

:wave:

Gisa ^^

 

[SPNGTyler]

Heard it was somewhat succsefull, but not what Lionel was hoping for.

 

[gisa]

Maybe it needed a barbie engineer or something...:/

I like the pink NYC gondola though (dunno why). I bet if they did that in real life, it'd get mighty dirty mighty fast!

:wave:

No, it didn't. I agree with that logic, but girls are usually "all or nothing" with trains, and a train colored like that would be seen as an insult.
