Also u may look at this new blueprint from the original creator of the wheel design, onca77. I havent tested it yet, but it looks very promising:

To make it more powerful, more engines and more axles would have to be added (axles give more grip, engines give more power) but that would make the locomotive ridiculously long and impractical when using turns and switches. And articulating it in the middle would add a whole lot of additional engineering and performace problems.

Have u maybe tried just using two engines in a row (or in push-pull config)? I got some technical problems with my ME instalation right now so I cannot test it but, I mean, it SHOULD work logically.

how is this not in first place?

Is there possibly a way to get an even BIGGER version of this engine??

Thanks

Yes, I may do that this weekend, when I have some time.

Could you maybe give us a world aswell?

@Lordm00m00 Thanks :)
@onca77 Thanks a lot for the kind words! On the sidenote: the chests were actually a byproduct of severe frustration as a single weight placed in a wrong place did make the difference between going max 30 and 60 km/h (not to mention any change in pulled cargo). So after 15 or so designs and a couple of them destroyed by missclics while deleting weights, I tried to make my life easier and suprisingly, for once it actually worked :D

Well worked out construction of bogie suspensions, clever idea of actually using chests for weighting the drive unit (instead of permanently gluing weights to the chassis) and really nice optimization of the use of rope belts, really important for multiplayer, all in nicely finished package. Coming up with a better design would be a true challenge.

Nice job, love the style feels like a real steam train
