I posted my train, the High Colossus, earleir today, but I just got Simple Planes on the PC version and also got XML, so I can make larger creations with more power. Cleavers are still used to power the smokestack. The controls are the same, but will be repeated for those who have not downloaded my original:
AG1 - Trim for reverser, VTOL up for thrust
AG2 - Throttle to 100% for locomotive brake
AG3 - Throttle to 100% for train brake
In this train, using the train brake while the train is still in motion is acceptable as the weight makes the locomotive brake practically useless. Despite being heavier, this train can get moving more easily because I doubled the power of the 8 Blasto J50s. The only thing that really changed is that I have 11 cars now instead of 6.
I present to you the Ultra Colossus Steam Train. Have fun in Simple Planes! ALL ABOARD!!!

@randomusername @Kalanimcd @pavthepilot @EagleRider @Natedog120705 I just posted a new forum in the "Build Request" section. If there’s an answer I'd love to know, but I’m alright if there isn’t one.
@RasucitNemilos you can use it in any builds and credit me
No problemo. Also I made some modifications to the bomb you posted. I slipped the cockpit inside and stuck a rocket in the back which can be used to manually detonate it. It’s kinda my habit — putting rockets in bombs. Kinda like my Castle Bravo @Natedog120705
@RasucitNemilos ok thx!
@Natedog120705 I posted just the locomotive and tender. It's unlisted so only people with the link can get to it. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Tx3ZLm/Steam-Train-Tutorial-for-Natedog120705
Also if you want to look at how I build my trains download the "Demon Express". Make sure it’s the version that doesn’t have smoke because that uses a mod on PC. When you do that take the cars off and just keep the loco+tender. Take off the cars by the couplers so you aren’t sitting there for ten hours ripping off 11 express cars with roughly 100 parts each. May have to launch it in game then go back to designer a couple of times so you can get to the coupler between the tender and the first car while still in the designer @Natedog120705
Lol that the other train is 3626 parts! This is greta though
The supreme order is kinda noobish too but at least it’s made of fuselage blocks and has under 700 parts (I think) @Natedog120705
Lol, you want a noob train you should try the train I uploaded right before the "Supreme Order". That is, if your device doesn’t explode trying to run 3626 parts @Natedog120705
Wow this is really cool. Like I am really bad at making trains and I tried but I failed miserably.
