After another long wait, Aeroliner is back. They have launched the AR, their new railway. It has been launched with a 4-6-2 steam engine, having been dubbed the ‘Nordic’. VERY PART HEAVY! Move VTOL slider up/down for forward/reverse, throttle is power. Has brakes. Tender tends to detach. Recommended throttle is 50-60%, else the regulator tends to break.
You may make different version, just be sure to credit me.
Framerate on iPad Air 2 is 4/5 FPS at best.
This was made because I couldn’t find any (mostly) smooth-running, real-feeling steam locomotives.
And because I was bored.

Hey. Guess what.

@ManBoe owo
@RailfanEthan
Watch out, world. I’ve made a version of the Nordic that’s piston-powered. And it works. >:)
@ManBoe lol yeah making pistons is too hard, i don't bother anymore with those
I also made train
Thanks @RailfanEthan for the link, it’s pretty sweet.
Just know that I meant in the motion/construction of the track rods, as the few attempts I found (including my own, mind you) used pistons, and are rather..... Self-destructive.
Slightly.
Not saying mine is perfect, nowhere near.
Quick update regarding the tender:
It’s attached with 2 pieces of suspension, if you set those to 250% strength they won’r break anymore.
And for that Real feeling steam train...
Sweet beans, i recommend you add the train tag so it can be found easier
@shipster, try the tenderless and lite versions.
If anyone wants to see the internal mechanics clearly, I can upload that as well, just ask.
TENDERLESS AND LITE VERSION WILL COME IN A FEW MINUTES!
I can't download because I'm low-end mobile.
Cool!
