Ooh ... looks quite cute. *;-)



IMHO these things are tending towards looking a lot like the same
these days, perhaps this is the impact of TSIs putting so many
engineering limits that the only practical working solution makes them
look the same.



Just like the cars of a few years ago that all looked like bars of
soap.

(For those younger than 30, soap used to be a solid, not a liquid, and
it came in solid bars that you rubbed over your wet skin. Or your
partner's wet skin. Oo-er, missus!)


I sort of kind of like this :

which is the latest thing out of China for Uzbekistan, this s one of
the new CoCo in delivery right now, the last lot (the third loco back)
is one of the earlier BoBoBo. Its a fairly simple external layout,
clean apart from that fussy grille on the front end, speculate that
has something to so with cab cooling.



I like it too, for its rugged Tonka-like simplicity.

I want one! HO scale please. ;-)
