H8 Motors trains are reliable and will run continuously in automatic until:

• A sim restart.
H8 Motors trains will handle obstacles effortlessly:
• Physical vehicles and avatars in the pathway will be bumped off the track.

ȯ REVERSE
• Turns around and travels in opposite direction.
ȯ ANIMATED GEARS AND WHEELS
• Our animated gears is an unique feature never before seen in SL train design.
ȯ FALLING FIREBOX EMBERS
• These are the sparks that fall from below the engine onto the track.
ȯ RIGHT and LEFT TURNS
• Can turn left or right on a Y track that has no track switches.

ȯ LIGHT ON/OFF
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Track Setup:
•••••••••••••••••••••••
For your convenience, buy an (optional) H8 Motors track set. We set the standard in curved track design, and our original automatic track maker tools (included in the H8 Motors Track Set and H8 Motors Monorail Track Set) make sure that train setup on your land is as easy as possible.
Estate Owners: We do custom track setups. Contact Mick Huet for an appointment.

Disclaimers:
•••••••••••••••••••••••
【Technical Support】 - H8 Motors products only.
【SLRR】 - In September 2010, Linden Lab installed switch boxes and poor track design (a few inverted guide rails) on the Linden railroad. The left and right turn buttons on your HUD will not work at these track switches. Left and right turns can be used on Y tracks without switches. H8 Motors is forfeiting all responsibility for problems by this new switching system and inverted guide rails to Linden Lab.
【Sim Borders】- We have NO CONTROL over sim borders. While crossing a sim border, you might be thrown from the trolley. This is not the trolley's fault, and there is nothing we can do to stop it (if we could script flawless sim border crossings, we would make a fortune). Please send all complaints about bad sim border crossings to Linden Lab.

is looking nice but wont work on sl tracks for train
the model is nice but it wont stay on tracks lossing it after seconds, sounds are awsome but sadly thats all if that becomes a fix plz info me i would be happy about to give it more stars
steam engine
looks and sound great but doesn't stay on slrr tracks.
Mediocre
This is a nice looking build, though in today's SL, mesh would look even better... The problem I have with this though is the jerky movement and clumsy UI. I've been looking for something I can use with SLRR that has decently smooth acceleration, but it wasn't this. The slowest speed setting instantly shoots the train ahead at speeds that are still a little fast for the short distance between sim crossings that it has to deal with. I'm not even going to try any of the faster settings. The UI consists of popup dialog boxes which, although awkward to use in something like this, I was aware of before I bought it and therefore will not factor it into my review.
In my opinion, this works better as decoration than for actually driving. I'm not a pro at scripting yet, but I know this could be done better.
This is a fun toy to play with, but I wish I had paid maybe half the price.
WOW
This Engine is the best i have seen yet in sl runs like a dream, the customer service is second to none , i had an issue caused by my track ( which wasnt from this store) Mick came to my Sim without hestitation resolved my problems and gave me great advice on building tracks in the future, If only more sellers had this enthusiasm. Was great to do buisiness with, and has all my future buisiness from now on
I'm absolutely astounded. Ok, I've been gone from the whole SLRR thing for a while so just the smoother movement and moving gears are enough to impress me, but an early 20th century steam locomotive is pretty much what I've been wanting ever since I became interested in railroading on SL - and this train is practically everything I've wanted. Thank you, H8.
Wonderful! Works perfectly, looks great. Really brings personality to a sim the moment its rezzed and it is quite parctical to those who want to set a sim tour. So very much fun and it's not laggy at all. Thank you.
