Krokodil railway engine

Hello you all!

The "Krokodil" Ce 6/8II is arguably the most beautiful electric railway engine ever built, beauty and beast in one

despite the first delivery was in 1919, the design, with prow and stern traction sections connected directly, plus a driver cabin resting on both, still makes sense today for >6 axles, to pass sharp bends and spread the weight evenly on the track.

So here's a modernized look for 8 axles, it could be 12 too:
