Came across this small three axle locomotive the other day in Tecumseh Mich. What would you call it?

It's a GMDH-3, a diesel-hydraulic. Built by General Motors Diesel at London, Ontario in 1960. It's the one and only one built.

Or...the Aerotrain's only child "switched" at birth.
See the resemblance?
Is this unique locomotive part of a railroad museum collection or what? It seems to be in remarkably good condition for its age, and I'd hate to see it deteriorate.
That is really cool and a great bunch of photos.... I would say that is a bit stylish.

Ugly!
Just like this one.
I have this tin litho H0 switcher.

Those are some strange looking machines. I love 'em. Does anyone else have some photos?
Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. had a streamlined fireless 0-8-0T. It's at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Never been there, though, so I don't have any pictures of my own to show. I just have a book with a couple of pages showing it.
The FM H-10/12-44 and the Alco HH Series look somewhat streamlined to me.

A face only a mother could love. However, now that 3rd Rail is building the N&W M, this would be a great follow-up. Keep the same running gear and undercarriage, new locomotive and tender shells and you're good to go. I had planned to email Scott Mann about this one....

Please don't do that!
I still can't understand why so many of you guys want all of these really oddball failures when there are many other successful locos that have yet to be made.
