I suppose now that Tesla exists the official Oppo train doesn't need to be a combustion engine.

I’d prefer this one ^

But if we’re going to be serious for a moment... we’d really need something like this:

Because we’d need something that is sporty, stylish, older, and a bit exotic. Bonus points for being made on the other side of the Atlantic too.

Gonna have to suggest the 611 train, because local-ish, the sound, and “dat livery”

Cherry_man1 > Berang 08/21/2015 at 13:31

You want Exotic?

How about the S1?

Cherry_man1 > GTI Sprinks 08/21/2015 at 13:32

Yes but 611 is an Icon that’s alive, the GG1 is gone.

I have always preferred the Santa Fe Locomotive

Overstyled, complex Loewy design that reached for the stars but in some respects was a boondoggle, pretty much defining Cool But Impractical for the train world? Now of interest mainly to topic nerds? Sounds good.

What about a hybrid.

That’s just wrong.

You can have a steam locomotive, and zero emissions, everybody wins! I can’t remember why this happened exactly, I think it was related to a shortage of coal but an abundance of hydropower during WWII.

Gonna have to suggest the Baldwin DR12-8-3000 aka Centipede. Why?

- Diesel? Check, with a pair of straight eight turbocharged 1500hp each beasts
- Long roof? Check, boy howdy. Each unit was eighty feet long (two back to back in photo)
- Manual transmission? N/A - diesel electric
- Brown? Well how about Brunswick Green? Sorta close...
- Exotic? Very. Only three railroads had ‘em.

The Deltic is the RX7 of Locomotives

The RX7 is made by Mazda

Mazda also make the MX5

But choosing The RX7 over the MX5 is the Hipster thing to do

Hipster = Indie

Oppo is independent of Jalopnik

Therefore Oppo is indie which is Hipster which is the RX7 which is the Deltic

I rest my case.

I’d actually go with the Q2 over the S1. Brawny, muscular, highest horsepower steam locomotives every built in multiples....

Also Seaboard had it in brown

He can change that. He’s a magical train that came from a magical place

That first black and gold one looks so Lotus. That’s my vote. Beauty.

what about the A3 jinty?

not a lot of power, but small, light, and nimble. it's kind of the Miata of the train world if you ask me!

Unlike some gifs, this one correctly shows that the pistons in each cylinder are slightly out of phase.

Nope. This is the official train of Oppo.

Holy shit it's a model I just thought it was a bad picture

Union Pacific GTEL or GTFO because gas turbine-electric locomotive with 8,500 hp and 212,312 lbf of tractive effort (the Big Boy has about 135,375 lbf for reference).

Where have all the lightweights gone? > GTI Sprinks 08/21/2015 at 15:13

I second the 611. It’s the locomotive equivalent of the Ford GT. Great looks, great noise, fast, and it is 100% ‘Murican.

Pullman Green according to the SAL’s own paint diagrams...but it weathered fairly quickly to a greenish brown in the South...

GG1 is probably the best fit. My dad was fortunate enough to ride on one of these. Said it pulled like no other train he ever rode on.

But my vote goes to the M-1
