I find particularly difficult to whif a civil car, and you? Anyway I will try with something easy: This '50s Peugeot 403 will see modified its four corners to make them "more pointed", inspired by Fiat 1900 Coupe Grandluce..

I love the third incarnation of your Mustang to GT40 morph. But maybe a fastback with Shelby GT500-style scoops in place of the rear side windows?

But possibly one change they DID consider but the British car-buyer might see it as unacceptable.
Actually the back looks a bit like a German design of that time (was it Opel?). >:D

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Great to see how fertile your imagination is, whether in smashing styrene or pixels. Outstanding!

Very nice. It looks like you're using an early EMD E-series nose as later E-series locomotives shared nose contours with the F-series locomotives. Given the problems both steam turbine and gas turbine locomotives had, I do't know how successful this would have been, but I like the look.

Very nice drawings Carlos.
Note in the design there are only 9 traction wheels out of 40? Really. :icon_crap:
Going by what seems to be standard practice with three axial trucks (at least for EMD and ALCO), the front and rear acles on each truck would be powered, giving you 10 out of 15 axles being powered. I can see going with three axial trucks to better spread the laod. When ALCO made some RS engines for the railroad from Iran into the USSR during WW II, they had to switch from two axial trucks to three axial trucks to get the loading down to what hte track could handle. The railroad was carrying lend-lease supplies from a port in IRn through the mountains to the southern USSR and they had to switch to Diesel-electric locomotives because steam locomotives were carrying too much load to fuel and water to move enough material.

How about a cross of the Big Boy with Southern Pacific's cab-forward designs? For a more elegant version, since the Big Boys were built by ALCO, instead of the vertical front that the Southern Pacific used, use the cabin and front end from an ALCO PA (IMHO, the PA has to be one of the most aesthetically appealing early deisel-electric locomotives).

I took a [first] Simca 1200 coupé (Bertone design, iirc) and a [second] Chysler 180 (same manufacturer) to produce an [last] elegant sedan (imho) with structure from Chrysler and aesthetics from Simca.

If you want to try something different, I know at least two US railroads painted a diesel locomotive up in desert camouflage in 1991 to honor employees who were reservists called up for Desert Storm.

Canada did this in 2019
CALGARY, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Canadian Pacific (CP) unveiled five specially painted locomotives on Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the U.S. honouring the culture and history of the armed forces. The five Electro-Motive Diesel SD70ACUs will take the message of military pride across the CP system.
CP personnel carefully studied the paint colours and patterns that branches of the Canadian and U.S. militaries applied to tanks, planes and warships. Based on their research, they devised five liveries for these locomotives:
CP 7020 wears North Atlantic Treaty Organization green, which the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in temperate climates.
CP 7021 wears the sand colour that the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in arid climates.
CP 7022 wears the grey, red and black colour pattern of modern Canadian and American warships.
CP 7023 wears a two-tone gray paint scheme designed after the livery applied to Canadian and American fighter jets.
CP 6644 wears the camouflage colours applied to Royal Canadian Air Force "Spitfire" fighter planes flown at the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944.
Four of the five locomotives bear a Canadian flag on one side and American on the other. CP operates in both countries and employs veterans of both countries' military services.

With CP now merged with KCS, those locomotives could even find their way all the way down to the southern border of the US.
