It has pretty eyes and I like all the caps, they look like eye makeup.
i think you would appreciate polish railways then:
These are cute in a different kind of way, they’re painted like they’re children’s toys heh
cuties! only polish locomotives to be exported to morocco btw
Thanks for the correction, looks like the trade relations between the two countries were more extensive than I had realized. Is the movie any good btw?
I can recommend. I enjoyed it, nice plot twist for example.
I was just about to say yo that train got eyes
I always preferred the aesthetics of locomotives where the side walls don’t slope inwards at the top (common in late German designs). I suppose the vast Soviet loading gauge makes it less neccesary.
Was the ‘80’ a reference to power output (80MW?) Fun trivia: in the US, GE’s first major mainline diesel was the U25B (for its 2500hp rating) so GM-EMD’s competing model got designated the GP30, despite only being rated 2250hp.
Power output is 4,880 or 6,400 kW (6,540 or 8,580 hp), depending on model. The 8 refers to the model being an eight-axle locomotive, while the 0 is there to distinguish it from later developments like the VL83 or the VL85.
