Canadian Pacific ran an extensive lake system in British Columbia. The pic below is from a B.C. modelers layout and I don't believe it exist anymore. I hope to do something similar on my layout at some point.

More waterfront please.

The "TurboTrain" built by United Aircraft. This is on the Orlando N-Trak Group's sectrional train show layout.

I might have cheated, I am not 100% sure the prototype has a diesel power plant.

Please show me another diesel locomotive that was not built by General Electric, American Locomotive, or General Motors.

Here's the Erie Northshore's "BEE", with a couple of recently acquired trailer coaches...

Originally a gas-electric, it was converted to a diesel electric after less than two years of service. 
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of the engine's manufacturer. Whistling

NYC #874, ALCO S3, is spotting a reefer on one of the Black River team tracks for the local produce dealer.

Let's continue with the pushing and shoving. Switching.
