Description
And here's part 3 of the series of pics...As you can see, there were more than engines being shown, still let's look at that engine on the up-right corner...
0-6-0 W-Class "Nasty Wheeler", a very odd name for a very odd engine, with huge wheels it would seem hard for it to have enough torque to accelerate on it's own, but it really a turbine engine with special chain links to propel it, another way for it to get moving is the mechanism on front, designed to use magnets to pull it forward and scan special signal systems built into the tracks, made to replace signals and give out GPS map updates, almost capable of proper autopilot-ing. Later models would have more effective wheel systems.
The Aerial signal (forgot the "I") was made to apparently be a signal that would not be knocked down by out of control trains, vandals, and other things, it would have a fan-propeller system to keep it in place as it gave it lights out.
The Whistle Box, works like a peanut vendor's whistle and a folding telephone arm, extending 20 feet away from the locomotive and warns off any and all people and animals off the track, some along with different models appeared on engines later on.
New Engineclock: Well, it's a more modern electronic clock, for an engine. Yeah.
The super speedometer's number's light up to acknowledge the engineer of the speed of the train.
The Gaglev, Invented by a guy called "Matthew Gag" Said to be a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels regular trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion, Thus allowing faster travel. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than regular travel on rails. The power needed for levitation is to be supplied by local power plants......
Everyone laughed at Matthew.
The bulldozer cowcatcher, different models made that were said to push things off easier, well, worked good for snow. Results were questionable.

I have the intention to make a Thomas the Tank Engine series on YouTube one and it'll introduce a new human character called Professor Gizmo, who is Sir Topham Hatt's nephew. He is an inventor who specializes in locomotology, or the science of locomotives. Now, there are two actual characters who have modifications made to them. They are Belle, a fire-fighting tank engine with water cannons on her boiler, and Diesel 10, a Warship diesel with a huge claw he calls Pinchy.
Fans have wondered why these engines have unnecessary attachments (especially Belle, but no one ever cares about Diesel 10 because he's a villain, and they assume the claw is there for making him look scary). It's because Professor Gizmo modified them. He is very proud to have such a creative mind that he decides to go beyond the capabilities of what engineers and inventors could do. I intend to introduce new engines with such amazing modifications. Two primary examples include Jagger, an Australian PB15 class locomotive with a modified tender that includes a flatbed with a moving door in which he can carry cargo without rolling stock, Dusty, a steam shovel/tram engine hybrid, and Anthony, a Sturrock 0-6-6-0 goods engine with a claw like Diesel 10, only more flexible and stronger.
I am starting to really like your drawings. You're just as creative as Professor Gizmo. Wanna be my watcher?

Think of it, GAGlev? People would start thinking of it because of it's name, who would want to be gagged while traveling at high speed?

your design would definatly work, but i dont see it beign as effecient through curves. also those huge wheels are going to need alot of power to turn so you have a 15% efficiency

Yeah, I was inspired by a Popular Science Magazine cover, the beast was cool in design but I don't think any modern Earth railway would take it, I think it would need tilted track to turn.

no they have made 0-6-0s before its just the wheel size compared to th boiler i mean look at th 4-4-0s they have huge wheels but also have boilers bigger than the wheels
