Interesting design for a "Modern" road locomotive...the angled, cut-off cab profile accentuated by the perspective and the trailing train..to satisfy a "clearance" problem? And the (I'm guessing here) auto coupler design?

Hi,

That's of course a shunter design, only used by some private companies like LTE "on the road". Since they only have a couple of locos they need them for shunting and mainline work. However, the first LTE "Hercules" mainline diesel is already built, just needs the final livery.
