(1.10.10) Tom Thumb | Steam Powered Container Crane

Description
Now THIS... I have no idea.
Tom Thumb is said to be the result of someone ripping the engine out of a tug boat, taking the boiler from a locomotive, and plopping them on a custom home-made platform with some other nonsense. Described as looking "like a shay locomotive on tracks", It functioned as a clunky container crane, serving the Spycakes Terminal for a few years. Although, shortly after it started working, customers began complaining about their stuff arriving in "unbelievable condition"...

HOW TO START

1: turn the damper all the way up
2: light boiler
3: once steam starts generating, turn the regulator all the way up, and you should be good to go

SPECIFICATIONS

Length (including jib): 22.5 meters
Width: 4.25 meters
Height (boom lowered): 5 meters
Small enough to fit in the default train terminal

Max speed (high gear) nearly 18 MPH

Can be run by one person

FEATURES

-Simulated steam engine
-functioning boom and jib
-various equipment - 4 ropes, 2 welding torches, 1 hose, 1 fire extinguisher, 1 first aid kit
-one beefy headlight
-capacity for 162 coal (not counting firebox)
-connector on the back

Not really inspired by anything

random idea is a steam train garrat on tank treads

Nope, that would the Coalbrookdale Locomotive built by Richard Trevithick. The locomotive you're probably thinking of is the first locomotive to operate in the US, named the Tom Thumb.
