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.
