New Diesel Locomotive

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.

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.

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"
