Compact 1-Engine Locomotive [0.7]

Updated to 0.7 while preserving the original design.

Ever since I've seen on the workshop Medium Steam Locomotive by Xaerthus I wandered, what more can be done to improve the design even a bit. The only possibility I've found was to compactify it. This is a compact design of a single bogie, single engine locomotive using the design components of:
1. Medium Steam Locomotive (Xaerthus): https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1605185799:
- the optimization of rope belts
- the dynamical weighting system (chests)
2. 'Industrial' Locomotive: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1595538304:
- the rigid drive frame suspension

The performance is a bit worse than that of Medium Locomotive: the maximum speed is about 50km/k and traction is lower due to use of just 4 drive wheels (which requires weighting the locomotive down. It is however sufficient to pull 8 stacks of logs in the industrial wagons (quite heavy by themselves - each weighted down by 36 weights, train shown on one of the images) up 10% slope (but barely). The performance loss is a trade-off of using a single bogie - it had to be weighted down to provides sufficient forces to keep the locomotive on track.

This is a 'bare minimum' design to keep the mod dependencies to the minimum. It can be easily customized for example by adding avionics from Peaceman's balloons mod for speed control or lamps for lighting.

The rope belt design is equivalent to two full rope belts, thus the design should be relatively 'multiplayer friendly'.

Setup:
1. Place the blueprint over a level section of rails.
2. If the engine shaft has moved, align it connecting weights under the crank. Unfortunately I had to use centered engine, for which it was not possible to 'anchor' the shaft.
3. Connect the rope belts as on the pictures.
4. Remove the planks connecting the wheels and 1 plank on each side connecting the subgrids. That plank is marked on the picture with a red dot.

Troubleshooting:
If the wheels slip, put something heavy (optimally weights) into the chests located next to the engine.

Special thanks to Xaerthus, as two major design elements are taken from his blueprints.
Many thanks to Equinox and Peaceman for developing and maintaining the mods used in this construction.
