When it came to beauty, not all steam locomotives were created equal. It so happens that I have the two ugliest streamline steamers on my railroad, the NYC's Commodore Vanderbilt, and the C&O's Yellow Belly. I do not have the streamlined Pennsy K4, or the Reading's Crusader yet, but these would also be in the ugly category.
What say you all?
The PRR had 2 streamlined K4 designs. One engine had the most famous, the Loewy design (which I don't like), and 4 had a PRR in-house design that I feel was quite handsome (only made by Williams brass in the 1980s). This design pulled other Blue Ribbon PRR trains while the Loewy one pulled the Broadway Limited.
