GT-2A-V2 BELLERO
The GT-2A-V2 Bellero is a dual gas turbine-electric locomotive built by the NovaSpire Rail Consortium (NVSPRC) for the Pearlia Railway Services (PRS). Developed in 2020 as the successor to the GT-1A-V1 Astra, the Bellero represents the second generation of Pearlia’s high-performance turbine locomotives. Designed for high-speed intercity, mixed express operations and freight line services; it features twin high-output gas turbines, a modified C–C bogie arrangement, and a maximum speed of 249 km/h (155 mph).
The Bellero rides on two six-axle (C–C) bogies, but unlike traditional C–C designs where the bogie pivots at its center, NVSPRC developed a hybridized frame derived from the earlier B–B bogie used on the Astra. Engineers extended the frame and added a third axle at the rear, shifting the pivot point forward to maintain smooth curve negotiation and minimize lateral stress at high speed.
The result is a semi-articulated bogie that balances stability and traction, optimized for the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8½ in) standard gauge used on PRS’s upgraded mainline network.

Author's notes
If I have my ✨ NovaSpire Auto ✨ series. Where I build cars that I like. I'll also start the * ✨ NovaSpire Railroad Company ✨* which specializes on locomotives.
Based on the GTEL of Union Pacific, INKA CC300, and old Philippine National Railways old paint scheme.
Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it. Anyways thanks for upvoting.
