I think a GE 44T is small enough to be a critter. 

 

Let's try something else. .... Please show the largest diesel locomotive on your layout.

I think it is time to change the topic .

I'll show a "critter" which may be a small industrial swtiching locomotive. The little black 4-wheel locomotive at the coke oven is an example. (Not the ugly crane in the picture) 

 

Plese show another critter.

Sometimes a vehicle pops up that is too new for 1954, then Godzilla comes by for a visit and sets things straight.

More visitors please.

Unfortunately I don't have any "foreign" locos or cars, so following David's example:

Another large-sized diesel, please.

regards, Ed 

With it's scale length of 80ft 2in, UP SD90/43MAC 8026 is certainly some large power, especially for the B&CCS with it's SD40-2s, SD50Fs, F units, and GE 4-axle U-boats!

 

More big power please!

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.
