So. Trains.

Ok, I've been waiting for the crew to finish Operation Blueberry (cough it's been days since someone worked cough) I need input on what else I should build. If you haven't noticed, lately I have been building "critters" more often. I like critters. Steam locomotives probably won't happen, because I'm not the best. Basically what I am saying is, "What should I build now?" again.

    @Testin123 Glad to hear. Trains have been on the decline in this modern world.

    @Testin123 Your locomotive is definitely a great start to the railroading community. I suggest taking a look at something real (Maybe a 0-6-0 would be a good start?) and simple for beginning. Keep in mind, when making steam trains, the name is determined by what is called a "wheel arrangement" or how the train wheels are placed. One example is a 0-6-0. It has 6 wheels providing power (in the middle), and no trailing and front wheels. Something like a 4-8-2 has 4 front wheels, 8 power wheels, and 2 trailing wheels (beneath the cab usually). Tag me at anytime if you need help with something.

    Congratz if you fully read that.

    @SkullsAndCrossbones Critters are small locomotives used for industrial or logging purposes. They're usually gas electric. A Plymouth ML-8 does classify as a critter. The image showed is a 0-4-0 Davenport with a V8. More info on Walkersville Southern #2.
    .
    @EliteIndustries1 I did say your job was to rearrange the wheels before I can do the interior. Yes, I will do the interior - but the wheels need to be fixed. CNJ's Blue Comet wasn't a 2-8-0.
    .
    @TrainDude Maybe a SD-40 Snoot?
