British Rail Class 55

The BR Class 55 or English Electric Type 5 aka the “Deltic”, is an ugly ass locomotive built by English Electric between 1961 & 1962 with 22 units produced. It looks like it was designed by someone who hated beauty. It’s got that awkward, slab-sided, boxy front that screams "function over form" in the worst possible way. The nose? It’s a bizarre, oversized, clunky monstrosity that looks like a bulldog that’s been hit in the face with a sledgehammer. The whole thing has an unrefined, "I’m here to get the job done, screw looking pretty" vibe. It’s like someone threw together a bunch of steel plates and said, "Yeah, that’ll do." Ugly, ugly, ugly.

“We Yankees have sexy lookin’ locomotives like the EMD E & F units (E8s, FL9) F40PH, F59PHI, GE Genesis and Siemens Charger but man y’all Brits and that ugly ass British rail class 55 is the most fugliest locomotive ever built, look at it it makes me wanna barf 🤮”
