![]() ![]() Here's a concept work of a HEXAPLEX engine! WHAT THE KRAKEN? I'm sure you're all aware of the Union Pacific "Big Boy" locomotive? The LARGEST Steam locomotive of all time! It was an articulated locomotive, which meant the two sets of driving wheels were detached from the main frames, so they could spin. (I'm just glad these weren't the rails in Thomas and Friend's "Misty Island Rescue" Special) Here's a Climax loco (similar design) running on LOGRAILS. Some of them were designed to RUN ON LOGS INSTEAD OF RAILS. Ī Shay Locomotive, which my mother once rode on for her birthday, is a geared locomotive, a really weird one. Do these not look like Ariane 5 SRB nosecones?Īnd here's a Steam-Diesel Hybrid, built to be cheaper than both for a mixed traffic operation. They did eventually get better, when they found how effective blunt cones are. I guess the first attempts at modern streamlining using cones could be thought of as windstabbing. They thought of streamlining as windsplitting. Edited Januby GregroxMunĮarly streamlined locomotives are good for steampunk rocket design. A Kerbalized version of this would definitely be hydrazine-dinitrogentetroxide combustion pressure powered. I refuse, however, to classify this with proper twelve-coupled machines."Ĭompressed Air locomotives use air pressure from a pressurized cylinder instead of steam pressure to function. "The wheel arrangement is 6-12-0, if you count the wheels actually on the track. Calling this a locomotive just wouldn't be right, decent, or legal. ![]() Think of it as combining Transport Tycoon and Trainz.Īnd the grand finale: The Holman Horror. Here's a dumb and not even slightly serious idea: A Train Game where you don't just drive the trains or build the tracks and manage the industry, but you get to do both and build the engines and trucks as well. So what came before the modern ideas of rocket propulsion and automobiles? Why, Steam Traction of course! You could say that Kerbal Space Program combines Orbiter and Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space together into one game, simplifying both, and adding the rocket building feature. ![]()
