The Nankai airport trains are all blue except for this one red one. The design is based upon old Samurai warrior helmets. Date: 04/19/17 07:42 Re: A new standard for ugly.....

Author: march_hare Gotta agree, it is a clear step above a Siemens Charger. Or an Amtrak Genesis "pug nose" for that matter.

Date: 04/19/17 16:56 Re: A new standard for ugly..... Author: RuleG Looks like:
1) Something out of a Jules Verne novel. 2) A 21st Century descendant of a McKeen motor car. I like it. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/19/17 18:41 by RuleG. Date: 04/19/17 17:15 Re: A new standard for ugly..... Author: kevink My 11-year-old son says, "That is SO COOOOOOL".
