Description
An XSG 3000 experimental, streamlined locomotive from SteamGen Tech., and an example of the cars it pulls. That green one is a second-class chair car, and the one below it is a diner.The loco is actually inspired heavily by my camcorder and seems to rest on exactly half of a PRR “MM1” class frame... a cookie to whoever gets that.
The cars are pretty much my “standard” steampunk rolling stock... narrow vestibule Soviet-esque stuff. Fun. Not my best shading job this time around, but the shape of the engine just doesn’t lend itself to a study of light and shadow contrast...
Meh. That’s it for now!

This train looks really awesome. The locomotive reminds me of the ghost train from Galaxy Railways but that’s just me.

Why thanks! I'm not familiar with that train but I appreciate the comment. ^^

Do it again but bigger longer more power and speed!

That could be cool... but I think that this design is good and retired for now. ^^

I always thought this engine looked like a camera! xD

where's my cookie? BTW, If you made a frame for your camera and made a paper cab that was removable, as well as a small frame and you get an instant layout tour in style!

You get a cookie when you explain the reference I made. XD
And I'm way ahead of you, mate... img.photobucket.com/albums/v42… (Different camera, same idea.)

It is a frame on a M1b loco wheel arrangement, but it has journal boxes and no valve gear, implying it is a frame from a tender, such as the "Centipede" type.

Ehh... you're on the right track, but not close enough for a cookie. XD

Nice engine design, inspiration is such a mysterious mistress.

Thank you. ^^ Why yes it is indeed...

The front of the loco looks exactly like a digital video camera I had some time ago.

Note to self: never use such instantly recognizeable anachronistic inspiration in a design again. XD

May I take a Pot-Shot Guess here about the engine?
It looks like the Baltimore and Ohio's Planned but non-existate Class W.
Could you also make a Design sheet featuring the engine, Because Im wondering I could use this as a frame for the B&O W class.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, curious, curious! I've never actually heard of this W class. I almost would have guessed this resembled C&O streamlining. ^^
Anyway, could you be more specific about this design sheet? In any event, you're free to use the frame design if you want!

A Color Version with Several different angles, preferibly a left and right side view...
And thank you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can give it a shot, I suppose... though the right and left sides are pretty much symmetrical, and you're already looking at it in color. ^^

Very cool; almost looks like a BL2, done up steamstyle!

Hehe, thanks!

At first, I didn't really notice it...but after reading some comments I was like..."That does look like a camcorder!"
Either way, it looks awesome. I think if more diesels were built like that...with a steam-like exterior...I'd like them more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've always had a thing for end-cab diesels, so I'd have to agree with you there.
And frankly, if you couldn't tell that this looked like a camera at first glance, well, that's okay in my book! XD

Certainly an express to remember! One might say it's photogenic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not crazy about the resemblance, honestly, but thank you.

I LOVE the 'Lens Cap' Smokebox Front.
All in all, YEAH CAMCORDER TRAIN

Hehehe, thanks.

I'd never seen a steam loco hat has diesel wheels and bogies!

Ye've never seen the N&W's "Jawn Henry"??

No I haven't mate cause I Don't live in the U.S. you see.
I only see Steam locos at the Land down under!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear ya.
But then, I've never actually "seen" one either, it having been scrapped and all! XD It's all about stumbling onto its picture in print or something.

Oh my freaking gawd! This is SUCH EYE CANDY! I see the camcorder lines in it, but it really looks the part. the coaches are nicly made, and the whole package looks like a blend of modern with old.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!! Heh, the camera lines really do stick out too much, but the stupid thing just fit together too perfectly to change anything... that's really my one regret with the design. >< Otherwise, thanks again! Retro-futurism is what steampunk is all about, right? *Some guy points to a bunch of tophats, goggles, and a shiny brass steam carriage 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
once again, your designs are frikkin awesome.....even though it is an all-inside-worked MM1-framed camera engine. XD
and as always, your coaches are superior. keep it up! (or I'll die)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahahaha, thanks mate.
From now on, unless otherwise specified, pretty much any engine I draw pulls cars like those... it's just the way I think! XD
And thanks again, we certainly wouldn't want that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love your coaches man, they just have such a homey look to them. They can fit in practicly any Railroad world over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, thanks again! I'm surprised you'd even go for them with the narrowed vestibules and all. My dad has never been crazy about that look, and he's something of an American purist railfan!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm an open platfrom guy msotly but I like nerrowed vestibules.
