Who am I?

My name's Ethan, and I'm from the wonderful Pine Tree state (Maine), I do a lot of railroad related stuff for a living. I joined the SimplePlanes community back on July 26 in 2015, and Juno: New Origins (SimpleRockets 2) on December 25th, 2017. Most of my crafts are, unsurprisingly, railroad related, or inspired by WW2 aircraft, though I make all sorts of creations as well.

Before mods became widespread, trains were just made using car wheels and hinges between them for a coupler. No rails or anything. Later on, TrainDude made a map mod with a simple track loop. destroyerP would be the next person to make a train map mod, and later Scratch would create one with functioning switches, a turntable, and plenty of trackage to explore. Right after destroyerP's was made, magnets were added to the base game, which would end up being used as a coupling device.

The lists below are broken up by map compatibility.

-(destroyerP's map) Locomotives with Magnets
-(destroyerP's map) Rolling stock for Magnet Locomotives
-Pre-magnet trains

I do not have a current compatibility list for Scratch's yet.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me and given feedback to my builds. Without your assistance, a lot of my builds wouldn't be anywhere near as good.

Below are just a couple of my old profile pics
