@Barry this locomotive was likely broken by the space update, I really haven't had the time to fix it though

the J 25 Feb, 2024 @ 10:50am

this thing is imposible to start up

JDRules [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 6:09pm

no, ive been caught up with school and other projects, once i make a firing controller that works with this new update I will update the creation, and ill leave a comment saying I did, I hate to say it but this locomotive is also pretty low on the list of ones to update, so it may take a while

Glassbar 16 Nov, 2023 @ 5:05am

hello just wandering have you updated it, just curios

Battle Engineer 13 Jul, 2023 @ 4:19am

oh..

JDRules [author] 13 Jul, 2023 @ 3:08am

Ima be real with you here, I haven’t tested or updated this thing in so long that it might just be that it’s not working cause it’s glitched, I’ll fire it up next opportunity I can to see if I need to fix anything

Battle Engineer 13 Jul, 2023 @ 12:42am

a video on how to actual start this thing would be great as your 1 line thing isnt very useful, at all

JDRules [author] 3 Apr, 2023 @ 1:06pm

that does seem like a fun build, no promises tho lol

Glassbar 3 Apr, 2023 @ 5:30am

Can you make a New York Central Niagara

JDRules [author] 26 Jan, 2023 @ 7:10pm

wants*

JDRules [author] 26 Jan, 2023 @ 7:10pm

Did you use pumps and did you make sure they are going with how the firebox whats the fluids to be moving? The length of the pipes also effects how fast it warms up

Phroogo 25 Jan, 2023 @ 6:10pm

Hey how do you get the boiler to heat up so quickly? Like im for sure i hooked the boiler to the firebox correctly, and i use the large firebox and give it lots of air but it still takes at least five minutes to heat up.

rotanev 2 Jan, 2023 @ 3:04pm

aw man, it would be nice to see a similar loco to that lol

JDRules [author] 1 Jan, 2023 @ 10:04am

I generally like to do north america style locomotives, so probably not lol

rotanev 31 Dec, 2022 @ 4:31pm

suggestion: can you make the LMS 5025 Locomotive (one of the last steam locomotives in Britain to be taken out of use), for better context its a Black Five and i'd love to see a locomotive like that in stormworks

Fat_Fluffy 27 Dec, 2022 @ 12:32am

nice bro

JDRules [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 4:35pm

thanks

SyborgCat 20 Dec, 2022 @ 10:27am

nice, very cool locomotive

JDRules [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 10:08am

not yet, im working on some extra cars and stuff tho

SyborgCat 20 Dec, 2022 @ 6:28am

No Caboose?

JDRules [author] 2 Dec, 2022 @ 7:58pm

lol

_omegaruby81 2 Dec, 2022 @ 7:11pm

now i dont have to turn it on

_omegaruby81 2 Dec, 2022 @ 7:10pm

its cool.

JDRules [author] 2 Dec, 2022 @ 6:28pm

It’s a glitch with the wheels

JDRules [author] 2 Dec, 2022 @ 6:27pm

Ye, the tender plus any load helps prevent this

_omegaruby81 2 Dec, 2022 @ 3:27pm

It actually starts to go faster.

_omegaruby81 2 Dec, 2022 @ 3:26pm

when you push just the engine long enough with your body, the pistons becomes a perpetual motion machine and it keeps speeding off.

JDRules [author] 28 Nov, 2022 @ 2:56am

if it uses the same couplers, it can pull it

Dark_Sabre247 27 Nov, 2022 @ 9:08pm

can this pull the log car

phillydopey 25 Nov, 2022 @ 7:48pm

ah i see

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 7:42pm

ah, yea the steam wheels are weird and dont have almost any power, so i hid some pistons inside of the train, it was the only way to get any sort of speed out of it lol

phillydopey 25 Nov, 2022 @ 7:41pm

the reason why i was asking is because my steam train can't really get to speed.

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 6:54pm

yea you were running it way too hot if anything exploded, the saftey valve helps to keep pressure from getting too high, but can still get overwhelmed and let the boiler explode

我是卡明 Я НАСИЛУЮ 25 Nov, 2022 @ 5:46pm

Im guessing its the Safety valve Cuz it was releasing alot of steam

我是卡明 Я НАСИЛУЮ 25 Nov, 2022 @ 5:46pm

Hey question can the safety valve explode or burst under heavy presure
cuz when i was attaching the uhm tender something exploded i have no idea how to stop it

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 3:40pm

sorry for late response

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 3:39pm

this train is seperated into the tender and the loco, making it able to fit into the default train workbench, so you dont need to worry about it saying that, it should just be able to spawn

Vympel ФСБ 25 Nov, 2022 @ 1:27pm

Where can i spawn it? Everytime i try to spawn a big train it says " Not enought space to spawn"

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 11:27am

I also posted my firebox controller to the workshop if you want to use that

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 11:25am

But if you want to you can use my boiler setup as an example, I just don’t recommend it lol

JDRules [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 11:23am

Building a boiler is pretty easy, you shouldn’t need mine, there is an example under the “load”, then “preset” menu and is probably a better example lol

phillydopey 25 Nov, 2022 @ 10:19am

can i use the boiler as an example for my train or i can just swap the entire boiler all togther.

JDRules [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 5:09pm

Very big lol

Derrick da Fox 21 Nov, 2022 @ 4:54pm

Oooo, Big and Bulky Engine. Me like

JDRules [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 11:32am

Oh yea, those are the old starting cubes when you would create a new creation a while back, that would be the cube that you built off of, I got the xml from someone else, feel free to copy that block and use it on your own creations.

rosko 21 Nov, 2022 @ 11:21am

what are the blocks with the squares in them? are they just weird looking weight blocks?

JDRules [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 6:26am

The red line on the water gauge is where you want the water, the starting guide is mostly there to go over the things not said previously, it should be relatively obvious :P

sinewystatue382 21 Nov, 2022 @ 6:11am

how much water do i put in it? also you need to make a better guide on how to start it up

JDRules [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 6:02am

Very true

Fire Pixsel 21 Nov, 2022 @ 5:30am

soo close to perfect number
