                                  My latest daydream a futuristic freight locomotive still under development

                                  Neat models. I'm not into trains, but I am into airplanes. A minor critique of your freight loco is it's aerodynamic shape at the front end.

                                  Depending on its speed, say anywhere over 90 mph, the rounded nose will create a lift and potentially unload the front bogies enough to be a problem. This lift is more from the ram air effect on the lower part of the nose and not the winglike lift from over the top. My suggestion is to drop the leading edge down closer to the track, more like the loco in your first model in this topic.

                                  Also, what practical purpose is the very aero shape on a freight loco? It won't offer enough anti-drag to pay for its complexity to build considering the amount of aero drag on common freight rolling stock.
                                  I can see such shaping on fast passenger trains, not lumbering freighters.

                                  Sexy shape though.....

                                      The file is now becoming unmanageable so i don't foresee the train getting much bigger
