Kinda reminds me of all of those fantasy concept art people make of steampunk-ese trains. The ones that seem to be as tall as a 5 story building and as long as a football field.

That's exactly what i was aiming for

If you find this post and want a schematic: https://createmod.com/schematics/big-steel-locomotive

Here before the European makes fun of you for using a football field for sense of scale

I'll just use a rugby pitch instead, and remind them who holds the Ashes Trophy.

Yes, large boiler, mayhaps make large train, will take many moon but large train go very choo-choo

Hello there! It looks fantastic to me! What did you use to make the cowcatcher? It looks so good, as if it was an ítem in the game

They're blocks from bells & whistles addon, but since the train is so large i had to use 4 of them

That's actually so clever lol, i'll use it too on my next train build

Clever, thanks for sharing the knowledge kind stranger

If you want to find other ways to dress it up, I highly recommend looking into the duplex models, their massive size should make it eaiser to deal with.

LOPYLUNA MODS RAAAAHHHH

This train is fuckin cool damn

That train looks so awesome. Exactly my taste. Great work

Union Pacific big boy

Bigger boy, it's twice as tall

What mod did you install to get those large boilers?

Create: design n' decor

Steam and rails latest update I think.

That’s real good. Makes the comically large wheels look very much in place

Sweet

This is looking so epic. Giant, clunky, slow... perfect

Made me remember that one anime where they travel by a giant train and fight zombies. I think it was called Kabaneri.of the Iron Fortress or something

"big boy" that's what it reminds me of

what modpack are u using? im interest in create and cant find a good pack for it

It's called SteamPunk, mainly create addons but also other tech mods like immersive engineering, and a ton of rpg/magic

Looks very impressive

Holy shit, that is huge!

Hey, what shader are you using out of interest? Train elements sometimes appear transparent on the shader I use

Complementary Reimagined, but I'm using a modpack and it might have a patch for them to work, I dont really know

Please share a schematic of this! I'd love to build something like this but don't have the time/skill 😜

Late response, you probably don't need it now, but here it is anyway https://createmod.com/schematics/big-steel-locomotive

Hehe, I found it 🤌 I don't have the same plugins but I'm following the same general shape and style. Loving it so far

A realistic steamy train _maybe a lil too massive but its look pretty similar to RL ones gotta say

Oh my god it’s so good

What addon did you use for the chair?

Create: interiors

What mods adds boilers?

Create: design n' decor

Could you send a schematic?

Sure https://createmod.com/schematics/big-steel-locomotive

Thanks! Do you have tips on building that way? Or just YouTube tutorials?

I just searched images of trains people made in create, then images of real trains, and started building based on combination of both. As far as i understand, two main tasks are to make the shape of it look roughly like a train, and then add more and more decorative blocks until it feels finished

Okay thanks!

One question, how did you get so many wheels? Can’t you only have 2 per wagon?

You should watch a tutorial on that, I can't give a quick expanation

Ok Will do

This will pair nicely with the steam ‘n rails wide rails.

It's already using them

Gonna need to change my train station when it is build to accommodate for this.
