Coffee Pot Train set for SLRR Narrow Gauge railway system

The Coffee Pot steam locomotives were small, early steam engines characterized by their upright boiler that resembled a traditional coffee pot, giving them their nickname. Built in the early 19th century, these locomotives were among the first practical railway engines. They were primarily used for industrial purposes—such as hauling coal or ore in mines and quarries—rather than mainline rail service. Though primitive and slow, Coffee Pot locomotives played an important role in the early development of steam traction, marking a key step toward the more advanced horizontal-boiler locomotives that followed.

Includes the Coffee Pot Locomotive adapted for Narrow Gauge with 4 cars. Two mining cars and two passenger cars.

The passenger car "Experiment" is based on the first passenger coach used in the Stockton and Darlington Railway 200 years ago, this too is adapted for 2ft Gauge.

Also includes train control HUD and track HUD

This set also contains the basic track set (worth 500L$) which means you can make a working railway straight out of the box.
The new features of this SLRR-NG system include:

* A track system with a small gauge of only 2 feet (0.61 m)
* A railway that can be set up on a small area of land
* A track system with sharper turns down to 5 m in diameter
* Improved car tracking and smoother movements in curves
* Actual driving in both forward and the reverse directions
* Drive-control via a HUD rather than the keyboard
* A menu system to manage the performance of individual cars
* The ability to combine any set of cars in the system into a train
* Options to make any car work as a locomotive or the following car
* Options to detach and attach cars in the train
* Options to control the train by external commands
* Compatibility with most other SLRR systems
