- Locomotive design has evolved considerably from the first ever railroad locomotives in the early 1800s to the modern day. In that history there's been a fair share of strange or experimental designs all to varying degrees of success or failure. So, here's a compilation of some obscure or strange looking models in Trainz!

Thanks for watching the video! All of the websites to get the content in this video are in the description so please check there! Also this song can be heard in the surreal web-series known as "ENA" which is where I first heard it. Go check it out if you're interested! ( th-cam.com/video/lF3O-TXURX4/w-d-xo.html ) Also I should mention that just because a locomotive is featured here doesn't mean I dislike it. I don't really dislike or hate any locomotive for that matter because its just a machine at the end of the day. Any locomotive here is "strange" because it has an unusual design in my opinion compared to your average locomotive. It's not meant to be hate towards any of the locomotives as some people seem to believe. Hope that clears some things up!
So this is why I am getting ENA vibes. Lol
ENA? I never heard of it.
Do you think you could do this in sid Myers railroad
Gotta say, I was NOT expecting Oliver Buckland from this channel lol
im suprised the triplex wasnt included lol
I love how some of these early electric and diesel locomotive designers were like, “hey, so, the more wheels we put on, the more pulling power we get right? So why not just make the entire locomotive wheels?” “Johnson, you’re a genius.”
@Ken Norcott An idea close to that has been looked at, "The Variable Axle Load concept was therefore developed to allow the GT42CU-ACe to operate on track rated for 17 Tonnes Axle Load when required, while still providing the full adhesive advantage of 20 TAL when the track will allow."
... "The fuel tank is raised and lowered by four air cylinders mounted from the underframe and acting directly on the axle boxes, in line with the springs. As well as serving to liftthe wheels, the air cylinders are able to exert a downward thrustwhen the wheels are on the rail,thus increasing the load on the idler wheels and reducing the load on the driving wheels. In order to reduce the load to 17 TAL, the cylinders each need to exert around 20 kN, which requires 650 kPa, which is below the minimum Main Reservoir pressure.While itwould be possible to leave the tank in the lowered position at all times, and save the complication of the lifting system, this would introduce a number of disadvantages. The adhesive mass would be reducedby 15%. In some of the case studies considered, this would require a reduction in trailingload."

Also noted were potential hazards, "4 Risk Analysis Clearly there are a number of risks associated with this system which need to be addressed.The most significant risk is thatwhile raised, the wheels on the tank fall or otherwise engagethe track while the locomotive is moving, potentially leading to a derailment. The rollingstock outline allows a minimum of 65 mm clearance above rail. Anadditionalallowance for worn wheels on the driving bogies, maximum suspension travel and the chordal height on summits of vertical curvesmust also be considered. The wheels therefore needed to be lifted with 130mm clearance under the flanges"
I am a genius
Yeah just put a bunch of train wheels in a piece of metal
It was either
"We want more power so give em more wheels to use that power"
"We made this thing too powerful, we need more wheels to carry the weight"
Or some combo of the two
Also I believe that these strange locomotives have led to the creation of locomotives we admire for example the daylight, the Shay locomotives, white pass and ukon, Union Pacific’s big boy, and many others as well as the creation of more modern locomotives and trams
Roughly square, brown/black striped electric locomotive with more wheels than a motorbike store: **exists**
PRR: B U Y
Baldwin centipede noises
I’ll take your entire stock
no no hes got a point
It has like 30 wheels
1:50 THAT'S TOO MANY WHEELS
What makes strange locomotives interesting is their uniqueness. They stand out from all the others. They may not be the most reliable but definetly very cool.
Yes they are very cool.
Facts
Some of these engines don't look that weird. The rest on the other hand DO.
Mhmm there pretty special and unique imo
Can’t stress how much I love the Virginian EL-2b’s. It’s great to see them still getting love after all these years.
Yep fun fact the EL-2b’s are my favorite electric locomotives
Leaving the ENTIRE list of where each asset came from and where to obtain them is extremely commendable.
Props to you good sir. Now I can drive the funny Little Joe.
Little Joe's are pretty neat imo. Been right next to one too :)
Which pacific trainz Game is used
@@Idkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkee if you’re asking what Trainz game he’s using, it’s TRS19
The train designers were like:
“Hey Larry what should the engine look like”
“It should be a steam engine that is like a diesel and electric train with 50 wheels and have the tender 10 miles long”
It is the centipede locomotive of pennyslavia
0:18 this locomotive is ridiculously cute
Yeah, quite stubby
You can see that engine at the Henry Ford Museum
It is. So is 0:24.
@@WolverineStateRailfan168 I live in Brazil ;-;
@@qwertyTRiG Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee "Line Car". Used for maintenence and repairs on the overhead wire. There were only two of these, 604 and 606. Both survive.
I like how the s1 is constantly wheel slipping, also thanks for including my turbo liner I converted, I hope you enjoy it!
A large majority of these locomotives aren't even considered strange at all lol
Just because you know what it is doesn’t mean it isn’t strange
I would call most of them unique.
@@844SteamFan yes
Yeah but a good portion of the locomotives here are boxcabs and those could be found like plastic bags in the wind pretty much from the 20s to the end of the transition era
Correct, tho i would still say they are... Unique
0:14 I didn’t know that the Newfoundland Railway was in Trainz
*edit: I love going thought the comments and seeing the six people who recognize the NLFD G8,
1:49 "No wonder we can't make these turns, someone put on to many wheels"
Baldwin centipede noises
I think the advertisement to PRR went something like this:
*Do you want an engine with more wheels than the rest of the division combined?*
Crush: "omg, trains are so boring"
Me: "well actually..."
Man, it feels weird seeing all these familiar models from people I know in passing. Paul Weiser, who has helped me with content creation personally, and I also saw some of the late Ben Dorsey's coaches in there too (which is sad because I got the chance to speak with him before he passed away, and he was genuinely a nice guy). I noticed at least one model by Whitepass, Pikkabird, all these veterans of Trainz that are still leaving their mark years later.
At 1:35 is those 2 electric locomotives built in 1910, that Montreal used on their commuter rail line until the 1990s.
Love how once you know the history of why they did things like this to engines it just makes them more unique. Also amazing frames my computer can’t handle something like this
0:00 GG-1 lookin a bit different doe 😳
Lmao
When you try to explain to some who has never seen a GG1 before what a GG1 is without showing them what a GG1 looks like:
this is one of my favorite YT comments ever
imagine if someone took this as an intro and made a series with all the engines in this
edit: title: Oddites Of The Rails, or OOTR
ATG365 himself oughtta get on that- I'd totally watch that!
@@nicholmansgarage3501 yeah
@@MiddletownBranchProd. I love odd and unique railroad equipment. The stuff that looks weird, and other stuff that never quite worked. I wish there was a museum purely dedicated to railway oddities.
@@nicholmansgarage3501 same here
Now these are precisely my cup of tea! That's quite a wide variety of obscure locomotives and trains - and all very well modeled too! A lot of top-rate artistry on display here.
1:52 I really enjoy these types of locomotives personally
The caboose looking train, the Commodore Vanderbilt or both?
@@spingleboygle both
@@Cessna-er4je ok
Is it just me or is the music in this video absolutely adorable.
It’s actually a song called “icosa”. You can listen to it play in some episodes of a web series called ENA, or just watch the original song only video!
This is an interdasting one that's for sure.
Poor engines are trying to just do their jobs but the other engines call them weird.
Ruldof but he’s a train
We call them "strange"
The shot at 0:23 is both accurate and inaccurate at the same time.
It is a good representation of an interurban line, that usually follow roads and are next to them, especially in the middle of nowhere. But the piece of equipment is from the North Shore Line, which had double-track through most of its system and there is no where on the North Shore Line that looks like this.
This may be some strang locomotives but u know what they helped us to get what's needed done and changed the future to what we have now
Except the PRR S1
@@braysfinds7479 oof true
@@DistanceNsVeterans I mean it kinda told us what not to do and looked gorgeous (to me at least).
@@the_earlybirf1170 heh
@@the_earlybirf1170 I understand that it would have messed up the look of the locomotive but not making it articulated really killed its chances of being successful
These are some of the strangest yet most interesting engines I've ever seen!
They're actually not that strange at all.
Except the 0-10-0T Camelback at 0:15.
@@robertbalazslorincz8218 idk man the prr has some pretty fucking weird shit

@Kian Woods np
0:34 this isn't weird, it's nice tbh
The extinct engine gathering. Maybe the fact there perqiluar is why we're disappointed most no longer exist.
2:21: 1218 and every other A class, Y6b, y6a as kids...
Not tryna be rude but I wouldn’t call these “weird”, there more like “unique”.
"Alright, we need more power for this model. You able to put large wheels on her? Like, steam locomotive-wheel sized?"
"Sure thing, John. Eh, how many wheels you w-"
*" Y E S . "*
0:55 Where'd you find that model?
Not all these engines were weird ya know.
Wow who makes the New York Central jet rail car?
I don't know about models but the real deal ran tests in mid 1960s in Indiana and Ohio and the guy who designed it both worked for NYC and was a pilot. After that I'd have to play in Google or in a book about RDC that's on a shelf in the other room.
@@scottfw7169 sure is a great fine model if anyone know the manufacturer of the model and I'd also like to know the model of that Amtrak type 2 turbo liner seen in the video at 1:00
it’s Pweiser’s (you can either get it from either here: www.jatws.org/PWeiser/index.htm#Latest or the download station)
0:16 Aw this Camelback looks so cute plus the 10 Driving Wheels makes it better (:
I love that north shore MOW motor at 0:24
All I can say is that I'm a bit ambivalent about these.
These locomotives are quite unique, IMO
The DDA40X certainly is a strange locomotive
It’s enormous, sure Union Pacific might not have always used the most practical or reasonable locomotives back when it was obsessed with massive power but boy were they some of the craziest locomotives you ever saw! The DDA40X the Big Boy, U55, challenger, and GEC turbine all come to mind
@@platform1productions297 thats U50 AND U50S WERE GREAT.
1:36 6710 is preserved at the two mountains station and the second one 6711 (the one who pulled the 1918 inaugural run) is preserved at exporail. And yes I saw both of em
Also, a Centennial, the very first one, 6900 is preserved at Kennifick Park
This is very well edited and the tune is insanely catchy. I keep coming back to watch it. Shout out to the Jersey Central.
My Reading and Northern route doesn’t work for some reason. I downloaded the dependencies as well, but still did not work. Is there a way I can fix this?
These are what i call funny shaped trains. The unique trains and they stand out.
0/10
No Virginian ALCO 2-10-10-2 Steam Locomotive.
That thing is objectively weird.
2:20 actually new york central used this train as shunting train from new york to outskirts because new york authority bans steam and diesel trains in city centre and coaches must be shunt by a electric loco it actualy used today too
1:23 I personally love the LRCs and find them rather good looking!
Same
Yeah, it's not weird.
Better yet the engine in the vid is preserved, and EVEN BETTER is in operating condition.

Camelbacks are pretty cool, too bad there aren’t many on the download station
While I do like the look of camelbacks I would not have wanted to be crew on one.
@Aiden McKinney i dont think anyone says that but ok
"ehy James, how many wheels do this engine need?" "*YES*"
I adore the way Amtrakguy365 made this video especially the opening. The song is fits amazingly cause it’s unique like the trains and the beginning and end are great with the opening it shows several angles of the E2c and also the ending with the more quiet part of the song and the trains in more rural environments reflect that. Long story short, this video is amazing
Everyone gangster till one of the strange trainz talk
I like any locomotive with the 'Bulldog Nose'
Video incomplete. No eggliner
A Lot Of Goofy Ahh Trains
I just love logging locomotives because they said fuck your train norms, we making weird shit today!
Great video! I have tried to get the electric Great Northern locomotives, however they do not download as CDP's. How did you get them downloaded?
From the looks of things, they’re just ZIPs, just open them and the files should be in there.
@@nathanw7114 I extracted them from their folder and they seem to just come up as notepads, I'll try to 'open' them.
weird bois are best bois
I literally watched this video over and over again like 30 times because the beat is so catchy
Hey that second CN one is from the Newfoundland railway! A modified GMD G8 unit! Sweet I didn’t even know you could get those in games!!
0:38 WHAT THE WORLD
odd locomotives fascinate me
Yea those electric engines may had seem strange but they later led to the development of the AEM-7 and the Siamese ACA locomotives and the Shay steam loco was the best logging loco
But my point is these strange locos have led to locomotives ( steam and diesel) that we admire to this day and some have led to the creation of new locomotive or newer versions without these strange locomotives I have no clue what today’s locomotives, engine, or trams would look like so we should also appreciate these strange locomotives and their creators and builders for putting them into service
Just tell me the names of locomotives in this video so I can type it in on Mods or Mods on like rolling Line
👇
I will now proceed to download every single one
The FEC BL2s weren’t the strangest things the FEC had, in the late 1920s the FEC bought ?? (total number built/bought isn’t stated anywhere either in the source im using nor anywhere online) custom built doodlebugs with a rear open observation platform.
0:37 where locomotive is what how when is where now?
Some of the engines I recognize as of 2019 when I first saw Eric‘s Trains,But most of the engines that I don’t know about that I’m curious on. If I see an engine I haven’t seen before, I usually look up the railroad AND the road number to see what kind of Locomotive it is so I can add it to Minecraft or make a product of it.
Okey, but where is Big Boy, Challenger, Meers and Garratt locomotives? Or are they not strange?
Big boys and challengers are pretty normal, just big mallets. A garratt, now that would fit quite well I agree.
The idea for more wheels was a smoother ride, but it failed. Also why aren’t Baldwin centercabs here? They are pretty unusual too.
I just wanna hug one of these locomotives idk how but i want too
I like the Northfolk Southern
Some of these are more common than you may think. For example the Baldwin Centipede. It gets its name from the absurd amount of wheels it had. Though there were few, they existed on multiple railroads.
0:35 How were you able to get the pantographs to raise, the options greyed out for me
Since I saw this video and heard the music, I was unable to think of a different song to put in my video, so thanks to you for inderectly preventing me from getting a headache trying to choose music?
heres the vid lol

0:35 for a sec i thought that was a ups train😅
The tune reminds me of background music that would play over a Minecraft or Roblox time lapse way back in the day..
Its so... 8bit I love it and it sounds like it would play in an old Mario game
Oh
Delfino railway
And especially the cab forwards
"Hey Barry?"
"What?"
"How many wheels should the new locomotive have?"
"YES"
That GTEL MK1 is sick! Also that CSX loco tho
What? No aero train?
Nice video! I'm grateful to see Pennsy in action, now let's see a video of Horseshoe Curve in the 1930s.
How did he fix the wheels on the DD1? Also Why don't you include the rolling stock?
