Favorite Train Designs

Any B&M Train is sexy IMO, I think the Mega Trains look the best.

I like the shaping of B&M megas, but most of them just seem too plain. No patterns, theming, details or anything interesting on them other than solid colours or maybe a logo.

My favorite trains are PTCs. They can handle any kind of g's comfortably, and I find that simply amazing. Floater air, ejector air, lateral air, intense lats, it's all comfortable in a PTC.

Aside from that, I love the trains on Millennium Force. The tiered seating, open-air sides, and comfortable lap bars are all a huge plus. If it weren't for the stupid seatbelts with the slack rule, they would probably be my favorites.

B&M speed coaster trains and B&M looper ones.

Thats what I thought when I just saw those pics of Nitro and Goliath, but Apollo's Chariot's are pretty neat. I can't find a good picture of them though.

I loooove the simplicity of the lap bar and the train just looks so sleek.

I'll go with you on that one. Those are actually the old Arrow cars just heavily redone to include a lap bar. The reason the bar comes down from the side is because they had no room on the Arrow Chassis to put the bar in front, so they just stuck it on the side.

I also like the Intamin Mega trains.

Kumba has by far one of the coolest stock trains ever!
Although Incredible Hulk and Dueling Dragons have pretty sweet trains, aswell.

I am going to have to say that Fujiyama has the coolest looking trains. http://www.coastergallery.com/japan/FH11.html

^Those are prety crazy! i wouldn't feel safe on that ride!

Anything by B&M is good. They look more modern, especially the front:

i'm saying the B&M Flying Coaster (also this is my faviorite type of coaster, it runs so smoothly and it is just gourgeous!)

^you'd be surprised[;)]


I don't really care what the train looks like, as long as it performs well. Thats why I like PTCs[^]. However, if I'm lookin for comfort, my favorite in terms of that are the B&M hyper trains. You could take a nap while riding one if you wanted.

That might be saying more about the general tameness of the ride, than the comfort of the seating

wing over stole mine :0 but yea dueling dragons are really nice looking

I really like the ultra twister trains look.

Same train design as my favorite, just on a smaller scale with fire graphics. Here it is >

Just beautiful[:)].

I love the old-style look of the Schwarzkopf looper trains:
Basic, but a lot of space (without OTSR, off course)

I loathe the old style schwarzkopf trains. They look ugly and outdated. Even though IMO schwarzkopf has ugly old trains they do have some good ass designs up their sleeves. Talk about modern, I've never seen such futuristic looking trains after finding out about coasters.

I quite liked Viper at SFGA http://www.rcdb.com/ig33.htm?picture=2

The trains are almost the same as Fujiyama
