Typical American early to mid 20th C Steam locomotive
Now updated (Jan 2011) to run on the Linden rails and with better wheels and animated connecting rod Still at the same low price! ready to go!
detail includes bell and whistle and smoke. Running sound and steam hiss on idle.
please note that drivable means on rails :) The SLRR has 80 regions of track you can use on the Heterocera Atoll or you can easily make your own. Follow these instructions:

Its Ok
The locomotive is ok. It is not centered on the rail very well but it works nor does it ride at the correct height. Uses a simple open source script from the VRC. Bell only rings once and stops. Like I said it works and is a good bargain for its price.
Decent locomotive
For starters, for $500 LD, it's not a bad buy. I realize there's not a lot of details on this engine, but it seems to capture the look of an United States locomotive pretty well. I don't have many complaints about this model, but there's two I think that could be addressed.
First off, the driver is on the wrong side of the locomotive.
Second, the cab is a little short length wise.
One thing I would LOVE to see on this model is a working Walschaerts Valve Gear. But that's probably wishful thinking at this point.
Nice train, but I've owned better
This train is descent, looks powerful, few major flaws though that the creator failed to mention in the description. First off, what is the point of owning such a large locomotive if you cannot hook it up to any of the cars and carriages sold by this creator that are all unscripted? No point to it, one reason why I cant use this. Next, the headlamp is kinda pointless, it goes to fullbright, doesn't actually glow and light the way. And lastly, the train doesn't move realistically, it doesn't turn on the rails like it should, it all turns at once sending the coal car off the tracks or thefront of the locomotive off the tracks.
I need help...
I cannot drive the locomotive, or access any of the features, PLEASE HELP!
Very nice and excellent customer support
Very nicely executed, is driveable on the SLRR. Has realistic sounds. I had a rezzing issue. Not the fault of the product and was assisted immediately. I rate it a buy!
Wonderful build and animations...
but...
This is NOT a vehicle but a piece of decoration, since you can't actually drive it, nor modifying it to make it drivable!
