The Encline Designs team has created this cool steampunk model of Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader in the Transformers universe, which transforms from robot to steam train.
The model features functional lights and wheels that roll, and a detachable trailer that Optimus uses as a secondary weapon, similar to the trailer in his well-known firetruck mode.

You can buy a “consumer” version of that figure (without all the custom detailing and working lights and such, but at an affordable collector’s price) at online retailers like TFsource.com (http://www.tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/829/) and BigBadToyStore.com (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MMC10000&mode =retail).

Optimus Prime was a “tractor-trailer” type truck in his original incarnation, and usually takes that form, but over the years he has also taken the form of a firetruck on occasion.

Astrotrain was a train… but hes not steampunk so he’s not as cool I guess…

Thomas the Tank Engine was a train – Yikes! I just noticed the ad for My Free Farm on the right. It looks like a slutty pig. Creepy.

There is a very cool version of this in IRON WEST by Doug TenNapel. A good graphic novella, too.
