454ss Challenge 6 - RiPpEr253 - Urocyon 0-4-0 Fireless Switching Locomotive
A submission for 454ss' build challenge 6!
Inspired by the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 fireless locomotive, I was curious as to the effectiveness of the fireless concept in the sandbox of Stormworks!
Ultimately nothing more than a proof of concept, you may find it interesting to try out a fireless!
Historically used in industries and locations where the danger/inconvenience of a coal fire or diesel fumes were unwelcome such as food and munitions production factories, the fireless locomotive is filled with superheated steam and then able to independantly operate in a switcher/shunter environment for many hours (although this one lasts far less time than that) and with less training than a traditional steam locomotive!
Built using the simplified Locomotive MC from 454ss to the RCU Standard!

This locomotive is a straightforward switcher/shunter and therefore has quite simple controls, XML editing has been used to deliver it pre-filled with steam for your convenience, featuring an on board radio point switcher and radio, almost all your switching/shunting needs are covered!
If you find yourself running out of steam, simply pump more steam into the provided receptacle from any suitable source, such as the Urocyon boiler railcar!
