Description:
There are not many so famous locomotives as The Rocket, the winner of the Rainhill Trials built in 1829 by Robert Stephenson. It was this engine that, due to lots of innovations in its design, influenced the technology used for locomotives for the next 150 years.

Now our engineers at X-RAI bring you a fully functional replica of this locomotive. It's main advantage is the incredible simplicity of it (only 5 grids in total) which makes it suitable for lag heavy environments like multiplayer servers. On the other hand, just like with the original, don't expect much pulling power or speed. It works best on its own or with just a couple of light cars or coaches, mainly as simple way of transportation for players.

Setup instructions:
Place blueprint on straight piece of track and you are ready to go!

*********************************************************************************
Operating hints:
- The loco can be switched on and 'grabbed' by one click on the control block behind the firebox shutters.
- The engines can be refueled by clicking on the down-front part of the side of the engine. It is a bit tricky at the beginning but once you know where to click, its easy to use.
- Clanging and crackling noises are normal and should not be worried about.
- The engine has no breaks. To slow down, just decrease the throttle. If more stopping power is needed, throttling up in reverse works great.
- Do not stand freely in your cab while going fast. Bad things may happen otherwise. The standing plate used by this locomotive does not restrict 3rd person view. For slow and delicate manouvres you can also just stand outside.
