Retro-Futuristic Style Fusion Locomotive

[Phoxtane]

Here's a locomotive that I built for this year's LUG display in my hometown:

I wasn't sure what this would be categorized as until after the show was over, but I think I know now. It's a fusion-powered locomotive in retro style, but at the same time it looks too clean to my eyes to really be considered truly retro... thus the label "retro-futuristic". I'm ecstatic over how well the teal and dark green work together; overall, I believe the whole thing contains six colors [not including the various shades of trans parts] - dark and light gray, white, dark green, teal, and some black. The whole thing was kicked off by noticing how the 60025 Grand Prix Truck set used a train base plate as the base for its trailer. Up until I got that set, I had no way of utilizing the white parts I had to build something like this.

The back end is very clean and smooth, which I like.

The only dis-symmetry is the 1x1 round tile on the nose. It would have looked a little boring otherwise!

Whee! Looks all nice and greebly, and yet not cluttered.

Pointy noses make everything better.

Even better news awaits; I've gone and made an LDD file for this locomotive. Download it from Dropbox here: https://dl.dropboxus... locomotive.lxf

I like the back side of this locomotive!

I like the back side of this locomotive!

I agree! I think if you want to modify it, doing something similar in the front would balance it out very well.
