Description (JESUS, look at how primitive these are, still only about 1/10 of the backlog I have, still)

In short, I experimented with electric traction, and some of these designs are the result of that. Also of note, the two at the bottom, based on Lionel toy train designs, why? Because they looked seriously retro XD

Some of these are different than what I expected. But useful.

A sweet mix of charismatic machines I still daydream of doing a shortline or interurban, just for the wonderful mix of retro machinesl ike those above.
As you said to evafan004, the 4-bogie machine looks familiar but I can't put my finger on why...

Ilinois Terminal Railway made a handful of them for their lines.

is the big 4 bogie one in the middle based on anything in particular? or is it just something you came up with?

Hello, I made that a good while back, but I think it was based of something sort of real (canr remember it though, sorry)
