This is a project for my Sci-Fi Urchin`s world. Probably will be moved to some commercial software and textured there, and then... made available in the Store. Just wandering if anybody would like to buy a steam engine:P:)
It`s a steam-electric engine; a steam boiler powers not the wheels directly, but instead, an electric generator that in turn powers classical electric bogie engines. This should allow to overcome the difficulty of creating an universal steam rod-powered locomotive. The problem of coal dust contaminating electrical equipment is solved by choice of oil as the fuel. The engine is designed by Adao, one of the chief characters of the Tower film trilogy I hope to make:)
