Kerbal Locomotive

[KinkyFerrets]

Ladies and Gents, after an inspiring bout of Train Simulator 14, I was moved to build my own locomotive in KSP.

As such, I present (to my knowledge) KSP's very first Pacific Union Big Boy inspired vehicle:

Is it incredibly useful?

No.

Does it steer as well as one might expect a train to? Unfortunately, yes.

But is it cool? YES.

Now, I understand, that this is KSP! So before you even ask, yes:

it CAN fly! (After some minor modifications of course.)

But can it fly well?

About as well as one might expect a 109 tonne train to fly.

Can it land?

NOPE.

Doesnt matter, flew train.

Nice! It's cool to see that other people are making trains.

This was mine

Nice trains, guys. Why do I hear 80's music and think of discoballs and rollerrinks when I see these things....

When i saw it flying, i couldnt help but think of a combination of Old West music and the Airwolf theme

Also, you could probably lighten the train by removing the fuel from the tanks

"Union Pacific", not the other way around.

I have made multiple versions of my Big Boy since 0.23. Finally I have the perfect one here in 1.0

Nice! You should check out this guy's work: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/115268-Elcano-Challenge-Attempted-circumnavigation-Overland-s-Thread-%28Multi-Class-Landliner-Trains%29

Less cosmetic, more functional, but a heck of a ride.
