So i was looking around for inspiration, and found this weird looking steam locomotive.

Il be trying to build this in my spare time, if you don't mind :)

At first i thought it was just an another steam locomotive, but when i looked closer at the piston i noticed something strange. The piston was placed very strangely above the wheels, i became interested and tried to find some information about this frank- of an locomotive.

I found some more information and can now tell some more bout it. so here is what i have. This is the Teploparovoz type locomotive, a Russian prototype diesel-fueled steam locomotive. that is truely a frankenstein. There were 3 prototypes built, sadly for them, due to benig too complex , didn't make it very far

Il be making a prototype of this locomotive soon

Also, i found a video on youtube of one of these locomotives, with the number 8000 actuly moving
