LOCO UP Bigboy - DH Train

Based roughly off of Union Pacific's Big Boy, suggested by Crookedstar.

The Big Boy was one of the largest models of steam engine ever built, used in the USA to haul heavy freight between the 1930s and 1960s.

This Space Engineers version is a little shorter than it should be and missing some wheels, but it's the biggest vehicle I've made yet - I tried making it even longer but it simply wouldn't work with my existing track. :P

Limitations mean that despite being shortened, it still can bottom out when going over sharp humps in the track if there isn't enough momentum (the big wheels are static, for aesthetics) - It'll also derail really easily at high speeds 'cause there's a limit to how far apart I can space the guide wheels (train "bogies" aren't possible yet.), so perhaps you shouldn't go faster than 150 km/h with it. :)
