(1.10.9) Newcastle Flyer 1862 | Giant Victorian Steam Locomotive

(Fictional, not to be confused with the Australian passenger express train)
As demand for rail travel continued to grow and grow in Great Britain, one engineer went out to build a locomotive that was faster, stronger, and overall more capable than anything else at the time. Later described as "The Great Eastern of the rails," the end result, named the Newcastle Flyer, would end up being... actually a bit useless. The wheelbase was too long to comfortably handle turns, its immense power often snapped couplers, and on top of all that, the engine was just too heavy for any of the lines, frequently damaging rails and derailing. After a dozen or so runs, the engine was put into storage and completely forgotten about until it was rediscovered in an abandoned shed in the 1930's. It was steamed up again and was found to actually work decently well, but at that point it was so old and obsolete that it was quickly sold for scrap.

1: Turn the damper all the way up
2: Light boiler
3: once steam pressure is building, take off the brakes and turn up the regulator to get going
Turn on the water injector here and there to top up the boiler, but you don't need it running all the time


-The regulator (throttle) may be stubborn at levels under 0.40
-Can pull The Brick at about 22 MPH
