Conrail U25C Phase III.  It was kitbashed from Ron's Phase I ex-L&N Oro Dam original kitbash, with his blessing.

I'm afraid to post anything after Chris put up that camelback.  That is probably the most beautiful steam loco model
I've ever seen.

For unusual, I'd still have to pick my T-1.  (until one of you guys builds another one.... I'm waiting! LOL!)

Thanks Max!  I would call the T1 unusual.

Here is another I own. HO, but it runs on N track  :P

That CN GMD1 is fantastic.  I remember seeing those all the time in Edmonton.  Beautiful modelling.

...A couple of BC Rail 'CRS-20s' ...   These were extensively rebuilt RS-18s.

And we have a winner!!

(What? This wasn't a competition? No matter. Anyone who can kitbash my coveted NW-5 deserves a prize. Good job D-man.)

Closest to "unusual" I have are:
GP39v


GP7 Topeka Cab, bashed one then replaced it with M4D one after this pic
Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

I built this once upon a time .. it's pretty crappy if you apply anything other than the 6 foot rule .. one of these days I will do a shapeways cab ..
