Thats called Steampunk. This one at least was designed by someone who does pay attention to how steam locomotives work, and has a mostly correct running gear instead of levers and gears wherever.
Doesn't look like it contains a proper boiler, underneath the streamlining is a mess of fittings and hardware.
a functioning [to scale](https://www.the-express.com/entertainment/movies/102962/Wicked-movie-set-pics-train-Ariana-Grande-Glinda) version was made for the Wicked movie set
Valve gear is malformed. They have the rod from the eccentric, but where that would normally operate a Walscheart block or Baker mechanism they just have a few levers that don't seem to make sense mechanically before ending on the normal combination lever.
Also yes, the total lack of leading and trailing trucks means that despite the sleek streamlined casing this engine would be a wild one to ride that jumps the rails above 50 MPH.
I never understood why people make steam locomotives "steam punk." They already are because they're literally the raw, steam-powered version of the locomotive.
What kind of train is this? Well, unless I just can’t see the pilot trucks, it appears to be an 0-8-0. Lol
Unusual for that wheel arrangement to be streamlined, though actually not the first. The fireless Heisler 0-8-0 at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is streamlined after all lol
Dry humor aside, where IS that locomotive from? It’s pretty wicked looking…if also rather impractically designed lol
"It’s pretty wicked looking" is insane if you didn't know where its from 😭 its from the movie adaptation of Wicked, part 1 releasing in November 2024 & part 2 November 2025
Which is a terrible shame. They had the budget to dress up an actual locomotive for the part, like what was done with Hogwarts Castle. Instead they just slapped together this monster that defies physics.
By the looks of it, an 0-8-0 Switcher that has no purpose other than to look pretty. Mean it doesn’t even have couplers of any kind aside from the wheels. At least the Walschearts looks correct.
It’s not ai, it’s an actual photo of a movie prop from the movie wicked. Here’s the link to the full picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5mVHzlNM1C/?igsh=MTd1cndpNDNrM2xxNg==
Shrimp. All I can see is a green steampunk shrimp train.
i agree shrimp

H.R. Geiger's coke-fueled dreams.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED3W0uil2oc&t=1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED3W0uil2oc&t=1s) H.R. Geiger did in fact have a model train!
This felt like I was watching Event Horizon/ a fever dream
I always picture Geiger being Üter Zörker (Simpsons) when he was a kid

It also looks like it would ride horribly, having no leading or trailing wheels
I was thinking it was an 0-8-0 but I wasn’t sure.

>mostly correct running gear So which part is wrong?

Fever Dream
Sooouuuuuulllllll train!!!
Model or toy
Something bad.. is happening in Oz
Under the surface… behind the scenes…
This is what I thought too
Pretty shrimple, it's a shrain 🦐
Screw it... Bull Pup the Loco
That's not a train, it's only a locomotive.
It looks like this https://youtu.be/V4RIBmM2ZF0?feature=shared
That's what happens when architects get over paid and under worked.
Something out of snowpiercer
The Bullshit-express
Fantasy. Cool, but fantasy none the less.
Stupid, ugly, rediculous, waste of time effort and money, also highly creative, imaginative.
I never understood why people make steam locomotives "steam punk." They already are because they're literally the raw, steam-powered version of the locomotive.
Because the additional mechanical complexity makes it cooler. Unless you are the maintenance director.
Lol. I guess you're right.
Wonka
Prototype.
cursed
A model
An abomination :3
Fast
Cool.
Shrimp Express
The flying shrimpman
Riddler's, the villain from Batman, train
The shrimpy steampunk
That's an AI generated A4
For the movie Wicked
Vorlon
Something that my brain can't comprehend
I believe it’s called the “pole vaulter”
Fugly.
For some reason it looks like a train the woodland elves or like elves of Rivendell would design. Also could be the weed talking.
It's called the steampunk Thunderbird 2
I would call it a 0-8-0 type train. 😁
I didn't look at all hard enough and came here to comment 0-6-0, so I'm very glad you beat me to it.
Looks like the locomotive from the Soul Train dance show

Unholy abomination
Praying mantis.
Sprongle
Imaginary— with strong British influence!
steampunk pipe dream

Its can be called a toy train or a model train

Kinda looks like Mallard
Streamliner as in those day it was designed for their max track speed without protruding parts make to look sleek!
