[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Sask_Tinplater Well, for those of you who said that foreign trains look strange, just think about how foreigners think our trains look. Actually, though, there are more examples of North American trains running in other countries than you might think. (...)[/quote] Yes, American trains looked strange to me. In Holland, we have smaller trains and most of them are electric, not diesel. I was not interested in those odd American trains. But a few years ago, I started reading Model Railroader and I saw beautiful American models at the local trainstore. And now I am a big fan of American railroading! I have a (compared to those large American layouts) small layout of the New Haven in N-scale and an even smaller layout in Z-scale. And also a small layout of the NS (no, NOT Norfolk Southern but Nederlandse Spoorwegen = Dutch Railways). In Holland, we have an (electric) engine, based on a design of Baldwin for the New Haven. This engine has been bult in the 50's and is still running! And what about the Class 66 of EMD? OK, it's appearance is not typical American (more British), but it has been made overseas. In Europe, there was also the Nohab, an diesel engine based on an American design. In many countries you still can find this engine.
