@RailfanEthan i ntoiced ur extreamly well w/ trains i like ur trains infact i was wondering what woudl it take for me to request a build such as http://www.festrail.co.uk/images/history/2_3.jpg?
@RailfanEthan dude make more steam trains I love them
@AmazingAidan The blocks used for the wheels are fuelsalges. It doesn't matter if you make them round, the physics apply as if it's square.
Why does it bounce when I use it
@FasterThanLight Of course!
@RailfanEthan Pistons and a functional cockpit!?
Awesome!
@RailfanEthan Oh! I'll be up in NH around then, maybe I'll swing by.

There is suppose to be a special event upcoming, "The Victorian Christmas" which is a monday before Christmas. They will have everything available running.
Another project for the railroad is a 3 stall roundhouse.

It's currently being restored as of yesterday, when I was there. The crew noticed a few small issues onboard.
Cool! I heard about the restoration of this thing, and I also heard they got it running last year. Haven't had the chance to visit, but would like to!
