Another Ugly Steam Locomotive.. Does anyone know the actual builder?
Second Place. "Thomas, the Tank Engine" is still #1!

Not really ugly, just a bad paint job. If I had "Photoshop", I'd dress it in NYC "Lightning Stripes" or CPR maroon/grey, with a beaver shield. Try it, you 'techie' types. Way beyond my capabilities. I'd appreciate it! Tnx.
Nothing is more "aesthtically pleasing" than an ALCO FA or PA! Put a 'grilled headlight' on that beast and you'd have a cool loco! BTW, the FM/CLC "C-liners" came in second, in my book! EMD "Bulldogs"? Barf! Baldwins? Forget it, except for the "Sharks". "Eire-builts" were cool, too.
Awesome! Another Ugly Steam Locomotive.. Does anyone know the actual builder?
It looks like this fireless locomotive has buffers so it must be from my side of the pond. Looks Germanic to me but I don't know who build it. I doubt it was a recent East German product as I believe the last that were build there were 3 axle versions.

The rustiest SD40-2 can look better than a freshly painted CF7.

It is an Alco DL560, a 2400 HP unit with a 16-251C engine.
These are mainly used in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh on the 5'6" gauge lines and the carbody is designed to fit the Indian broad gauge loading gauge.
Some are used in South America, in Peru on the standard gauge.
Most of these were built in India by the Diesel Locomotive Works at Varanasi under licence.
The locomotive illustrated might be a freshly painted Indian Railways locomotive awaiting lettering.

Awesome! What about this locomotive from Europe?

Somewhat reminiscent of an English Deltic, but the windshields are wrong. The Class 23 "Baby Deltic" has more-similar windshields, but the lighting is different. Anyone else got a better suggestion?

The identification of the manufacturer is correct but the location is wrong.
This locomotive is about as far from Europe (and its place of build, English Electric) as you can get. It is in New Zealand. It is a class Dg or Dh (they were identical in appearance) and has a 750HP EE in line 6SRKT engine.
The train it is coupled to works a tourist service out of Dunedin in NZ on the Taeri Gorge Railway, the blue second unit being a Japanese built class Dj (much more deserving of an ugly locomotive nomination),
Another Locomotive but this time it was patch with fallen flags. Priceless!
Old Flags but the warbonet theme it won't be forgotten..
I like it! You could call it "The Heritage paint scheme"!

Nah I would call it Built from teh Spare Parts bin No time to hit the paint both before it came out in public. Still needs a few parts before it will run. For sale CHEAP. Only needs a 645 and some wires and you to can have yourself a GP40.

It's amazed the different patterns to make a locomotive. I think we should posted on the heritage section of the forum as "Special".
That is one confused GP40!
chefjavierCan anyone beat that ugly boat...
YES! This is the ugliest one ever!

Although it started out as a locomotive HZGX171 is not a locomotive. It is called a "multipurpose machine" and is permanently coupled to the rest of the unit. Therefore it is a MOW machine, not a locomotive.
