This is my Entry for [url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscord.gg%2FBjnhpaSCfR] Alistair's LBC Challenge [/url][discord.gg]
Loosely based on the Baltimore and Ohio C-16 Saddle style tank engines built in 1912 by Baldwin Locomotive Works, this coal fired steam locomotive is a compact but powerful engine designed for the tight radius turns of dock yard and warehouse rail systems. This build is not a recreation and is in a fictional paint scheme for a made up rail company.
This engine has exceptional low speed handling, and is very easy to use as well as being compact and as powerful as it was possible to make it with steam wheels. It uses a closed loop steam system, so water replenishment is not required and it is very efficient on coal.

TCP:
This locomotive is not TCP compliant, it is a replica of an engine that is 113 years old and lacks any of the required equipment. BUT the engine is capable of hooking on to TCP equipped rolling stock and locomotives and shunting them as required, with the brakes working realistically, as would be the case IRL. It overrides any other locomotive set to "master" so it will work as it should.
The engine outputs the braking signal on composite channel 5 from both front and rear couplings.
Operating Instructions:
All operations are done from inside the cab
Starting the Firebox:
[list]
[*] The engine spawns with coal in the furnace ready to go.
[*] Turn on the Firebox Air Valve
[*] Wait for 40+ steam pressure and the engine is ready to shunt
[*] To open the firebox shutters and access the furnace there is a handle on the right side of the Forward/Reverse Throttle
[/list]
Moving the Engine:
[list]
[*] Release the brakes with the Brake Valve in the upper the left side of the cab
[*] Move the Forward/Reverse Throttle in the direction you wish to travel
[*] The engine will start moving at around 0.1 throttle input
[*] To stop engage the brakes and set the throttle to close to zero
[/list]
Credits:
Thanks for checking out my little locomotive! I hope its fun or useful for anyone that tries it. It is the first time I have ever built anything train related in SW and I don't know anything about them IRL or in the game so it probably has a lot of things that aren't quite right HAHA
Special thanks to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014977218/myworkshopfiles/?appid=573090] Alistair [/url] for running such a fun challenge, I would have never tried to build a train without it.
