Can someone please explain steam locomotives in SimplePlanes?

I am very confused…

So far every attempt I have made to build working valve gear for a steam locomotive without the loco either having a seizure or turning into a pile of flaming parts…

Please help…

    @MRM19 honestly look at my k4. It'll give a basis of what should be done but had scratch make it compatible with his map so there a bit more complexity but it should give a general idea. Having a center, with spokes, and then another part where the linkage will attach to the wheel if i make sense.

    Does that include the spokes for the wheels? @PapaKernels

    Dont use a piston to make them move, use a rotor to make the wheels spin so the linkage will move. Disable collision on all parts, and check connections.
