Strange Trainz

Показать описание
Locomotive design has evolved considerably from the first ever railroad locomotives in the early 1800s to the modern day. In that history there's been a fair share of strange or experimental designs all to varying degrees of success or failure. So, here's a compilation of some obscure or strange looking models in Trainz!

I love how some of these early electric and diesel locomotive designers were like, “hey, so, the more wheels we put on, the more pulling power we get right? So why not just make the entire locomotive wheels?” “Johnson, you’re a genius.”

What makes strange locomotives interesting is their uniqueness. They stand out from all the others. They may not be the most reliable but definetly very cool.

Can’t stress how much I love the Virginian EL-2b’s. It’s great to see them still getting love after all these years.

Roughly square, brown/black striped electric locomotive with more wheels than a motorbike store: **exists**

I like how the s1 is constantly wheel slipping, also thanks for including my turbo liner I converted, I hope you enjoy it!

Leaving the ENTIRE list of where each asset came from and where to obtain them is extremely commendable.

Props to you good sir. Now I can drive the funny Little Joe.

Man, it feels weird seeing all these familiar models from people I know in passing. Paul Weiser, who has helped me with content creation personally, and I also saw some of the late Ben Dorsey's coaches in there too (which is sad because I got the chance to speak with him before he passed away, and he was genuinely a nice guy). I noticed at least one model by Whitepass, Pikkabird, all these veterans of Trainz that are still leaving their mark years later.

The train designers were like:

“Hey Larry what should the engine look like”
“It should be a steam engine that is like a diesel and electric train with 50 wheels and have the tender 10 miles long”

Now these are precisely my cup of tea! That's quite a wide variety of obscure locomotives and trains - and all very well modeled too! A lot of top-rate artistry on display here.

Love how once you know the history of why they did things like this to engines it just makes them more unique. Also amazing frames my computer can’t handle something like this

These are some of the strangest yet most interesting engines I've ever seen!

Is it just me or is the music in this video absolutely adorable.

I adore the way Amtrakguy365 made this video especially the opening. The song is fits amazingly cause it’s unique like the trains and the beginning and end are great with the opening it shows several angles of the E2c and also the ending with the more quiet part of the song and the trains in more rural environments reflect that. Long story short, this video is amazing

At 1:35 is those 2 electric locomotives built in 1910, that Montreal used on their commuter rail line until the 1990s.
