That is abusing the right to be ugly.
Crikey it makes a Class 67 look perfectly sensible!

No one has mentioned we used to build them in GREAT BRITAIN

That loco looks horrible. Really horrible.

Anyone got a picture of said ugly loco ?

It all started to go wrong with the class 58, allthough the 60 was impressive visually and with that thudding engine note.

Hi, Swisstrains posted a good link in this thread on page 3. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, my first impression was that it was a train from the childrens programme "underground ernie"

Another ugly freight engine ! perhaps thats just it, if it's a freight engine then design is purely functional.

Shame, maybe the engine noise will be worth hearing.

Heres a short video of the new Class 70 loco in the U.S.

Great pity we cannot build new locomotives here is it not.What happened to our engineering industry eh!

That is one ugly son of a bitch

Actually that blasphemy of a machine has got me thinking, has anyone ever seen anything uglier?
Locomotive that is!
I think I would have to resist the temptation to give in to uncrontrollable laughter if I ever saw one.
That or cry.
Ladies and Gentlemen, soon to be seen on the rails of the Country that gave you "Mallard", Duchess Pacifics, Merchant Navy Class et al, I give you the Carbuncle Class ugly-as-sin monstrosity.
Anyway, there has already been a Class 70, the "Hornby,s"
