I have learned something new today.

And I agree, it is nice looking.

That's cool.
It makes me realize we don't have any skins of any vintage U.P. locos with silver trucks.

I've been stumbling across all sorts of weird looking engines. If y'all like, I'd post them here?

Not hi-jacking the thread, but I too would like to see some of the more exotic locomotives modeled and released. I'm a SP fan, and I would like to see the famous "Krauss-Maffei ML 4000 C'C'" locomotive done or the "Sharks" would be nice as well.

Did you know the Niles Canyon Scenic is working on a S.P. "Kraut"?

My F3s and GP9s in the library do. I'm working on a new photoreal set of silver textures for the Britkits locos...

I'd rather not have more white elephants and holy cows when there are still many "basic" engines lacking.
A good ALCo PA, FA
A good EMD E7/8/9, FP7 (Britkits are converted MSTS models)
Baldwin "sharknose"
rather than exotic engines, many of which were failures like the Centipede.

Exactly. Could use those, a more modern RS3, etc before more cool but relatively rare oddballs.
