Flickr user Jayhurst is dealing with a case of the uglies.....His entry into the Flickr Ugly Train contest blends train with beast.

From the description at Flickr:

It is a Camelback Atlantic 4-4-2, and it is modeled after the #592 steam engine that resides in the B&O museum.

This moc is powered by a medium PF motor that is mounted in the firebox. The rechargeable battery and the IR receiver are mounted in the tender.

    Always love seeing your engines and I'm always most impressed and inspired by your ability to hide PF gear!

    Thats awsome! Great design, I'm not huge on the red wheels but I know thats because the XL only come out in red currently. Overall, 9/10.

    Very nice. My favorite detail is the smokebox door. You had to go and steal my idea for a dynamo though... (ah well great minds and all, grin). The only problem is that I wouldn't call it ugly. Maybe camelbacks are the BL2s of the steam era.
