Lately I've been pestered by my mom to try and do some train stickers, and while I adore the idea of doing some M-63/M-73 stickers, well, I'm really NOT versed well in older steam engines
Would you have any models that you like and haven't been represented in mainstream stickers? Some you'd like to see? I have pics of older canadian trains (some very unique!) but they don't exactly look like trains at first sight? The ones that stuck in my mind are the snowplows, which are not what people expect of a train lol
TL;DR: I'm looking for trains that aren't the normal "wooden toy train" stereotype. Think any other models would appeal to other train fans?
Steam, Dual, electric, I'm up for anything!
Ohhhh, do I have some recommendations for you!
For older electric locomotives:
Pennsylvania Railroad GG1. Everyone knew this was coming from me, but I've been obsessed with it since age 4 or so. It's sleek, it's art deco, and it was damn good at what it did. I am so deeply attached to these things that it's pathetic.
For older steam locomotives:
New York Central Dreyfuss Hudson
LNER A1/A3 Flying Scotsman (a specific locomotive, not just the class)
LNER A4 4468 Mallard (a specific locomotive, not just the class - Mallard holds the steam speed record at 126 mph)
Milwaukee Road Class A Atlantics
Norfolk and Western J Class (N&W 611 is the lone survivor of the class and still operates)
Southern Pacific GS-4 (SP 4449 is the lone survivor of the class and still operates)
GWR 3700 Class 3440 City of Truro (a specific locomotive, not just the class)
Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson
For older diesel locomotives:
I hope this is a decent starter list! Hopefully it's not too many or too overwhelming! There's a lot of others I'd add later, and if you wanted to do modern trains, I'm of course going to shill for the E5/H5 Shinkansen because I love it, but this is hopefully a good starting place!
