Oh look.... another model with a heading EMD Wow, thats very different.....
GE U30C
EMD GP30 and SD45
Fairbanks morse
Alco RS3
Now for cab units. In order: Alco, Baldwin, EMD, Fairbanks Morse
Now that is what I call some variety.
As for beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. I have to say that your Class 08 and Deltics are pretty cool, just because of their utilitarian design, but really, I find that most of the UK stuff, look pretty lame. Personally, I prefer my locomotives to look more industrial, and to run well, rather look pretty. The UK stuff just looks like it is a pain to run due to the low visibility.
But that is just me. I am a switcher guy. Hell, my favorite running revenue locos right now are the R&N's SW8 pups. That and anything that doesn't have a stupid fathead. (MLW M420 being the exception.) I also love seeing mile long coal trains snaking through the mountains.
Really, it is just my personal preference. I love German stuff. I love New Zealand stuff(minus their crummy new Chinese locos). And I absolutely love USA stuff. It is just what appeals to me. I also don't like chain and bumper couplers. It just seems like a really poor way to run a railroad. How do you kick cars around?
Also, passenger stuff is pretty boring.
No so much ugly - but odd, when you see a loco from another country on a UK line.
Here's a USA S160 steamer pulling British carriages on the Swanage line, in the south of England around five years ago.

Its not meant to be an ugly loco example, but rather another example of EMD changing its' design and constructionI actually really like that train it's pretty darn awesome. By the way I have pulled out of the train war seeing as I fed up with arguing

Why should it be locked. A lot of people like to see what is ugly. This thread has a lot of differing opinions of what is ugly and what is not. If you don't like the thread don't read it.
