(old) [PRR] Pennsylvania RR T1 | 64x Piston Power

Real Life

The PRR T1 class steam locomotive had the intent of being the fastest possible steam locomotives of the era with speeds of 100 mph+. It was designed around the unique 4-4-4-4 wheel set, 2 sets of 4 driver wheels, each with their own pair of engines, which in theory would act as 2 steam locomotives for the weight of one.

In-Game

This engine uses actual bi-direction piston power for real functioning steam cylinders.This creation would not use Stevenson Valve Gear timing, like seen in other creations, because the T1 locomotive uses poppet style valves. With all 64 pistons moving this creation, it is a very powerful piston locomotive, capable of pulling long trains. The top speed of the locomotive is ~32 MPH under no pulling load. A drag reducer can be used for more realism and higher speeds of up to 45 mph.

Requirements

-This works best on Physics 6, and only functions down to physics 5. -To use on physics 5 and/or with other train cars, you must use a drag reducer. -After placing on rails, update it by placing and removing a block on the body to prevent glitches.

Locomotive Controls

| 1 | Reverse Direction (Can be used as a brake, only in low power mode) | | --- | --- | | 2 | Throttle | | 3 | High Power Mode (Leave off when accelerating from a stop, and making a tight corner) | | 4 | High Speed Mode (Only activates with High Power Mode on) |
