A Berkshire locomotive based off the Nickel Plate Road 765. Has the same controls as my previous 0-6-0t (link to 0-6-0t and controls here https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/R47Rh3/0-6-0t-Steam-Locomotive). Shoutout to CDRxavier for his better wheel design. If anyone needs a more detailed description of the controls then here is a video of one of my locomotives in operation. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py1awrULReM

Might I also suggest keeping it on tarmac or similarly flat surfaces as it doesn't like bumps at all.

Comments and Criticism wanted.

    Your trains are really good. I’d love to see more of them with the level of detail you gave the ghostbusters car

    The trim is basically the Johnson bar (reversing lever) forward is forward, backward is backward

    The reason I included the instructions is so that you get complete control of which direction it goes, plus if you follow the instructions it’s more realistic. @CDRxavier
