VERSION TWO:
Well, where do I start with this one? This is the RN700, the baddest and most powerful of my steam locomotives so far. In total, it weighs 812,690 pounds. The tenders are labeled with the name, the tender holds 30,000 gallons of fuel (around 200 in the firebox), and the two main parts are joined by a coupler. The RN700 locomotive gets its power from a single VTOL jet engine which has been XML modded in both power and weight. The sixteen nozzles are placed on each wheel and are the only source of movement for the locomotive. The driving rods are also attached to these wheels through position modding. So far, this is the first time I've ever seen them on the SimplePlanes site, but I'm not going to write myself up as being the first to ever do it.

The controls are rather complicated, but thankfully I've done what I can to make it much simpler for you to work with. To use the locomotive's "steam whistle", pitch back, and to use the air horn, roll to the right side. No activation group needed, that's all you have to do.

The locomotive's controls are actually rather simple in nature, almost identical to the ones that I've used before. Trim is still the locomotive's reverser, throttle serves its usual purpose, the brakes activate a weak "locomotive brake", and the train brake is VTOL up. All of these controls have a place in the cab.

Now for the controls bound to an activation group:

AG1 - Headlights
AG2 - Cylinder Cocks (hissing sound only)
AG3 - Pump oil into the fire & open firebox

All of these have switches in the cab. The light switch is on the engineer's side, and the cylinder cocks and oil regulator are on the fireman's side. There's also a special surprise on the lights, but I'm not going to tell you what it is yet here -- you've got to see for yourself.

This version of the locomotive can run on the rails but doesn't have a second tender, which means you can run for a really long time on TrainDude's railway mod, but you've only got 30,000 gallons of fuel. Be sure you're not running the whistle constantly -- 15 VTOL engines each at several times their usual maximum output burns a lot of fuel.

A couple fair warnings -- this locomotive truly doesn't have any suspension to speak of, so prepare for a rough ride, especially when going fast. Two, if you aren't playing on a computer and don't have the limitless spin mod, the fastest you will be able to go is 21 miles per hour. However, if you do have that mod, then this locomotive can pull five million pounds at 55 miles per hour with ease. Don't go much faster than 70, or you will definitely get to see the locomotive explode due to the extreme force you're putting on the fuselage wheels and the shocks in the cylinders.

Have fun with this one-of-a-kind steam locomotive, and be sure to tag me in any creations you make using this locomotive!
