Early Train/Trackbuilder - B&O 1832

Description
This mod includes a basic diesel locomotive and track builder designed for early starts (pre-1950).

The Grasshopper was a very early locomotive type developed and sold within the USA from 1832 - ca. 1870. It was a small, scrappy little engine with most of its machinery open to the elements. Most of the Grasshoppers which have been preserved to this day belonged to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O.)
The engine was named for its four large pistons which moved in circles, similar to a grasshopper's legs.

The Trackbuilder can be bought, Disassembled, from the Western Border. The trackbuilder comes with an animated crane.
Both vehicles have working night lights and smoke.

Any chance this can be updated with using coal and water as fuel as that now is supported in the game?

Nice model, but did you adjust the size after taking those screenshots? The models is too small in-game. The wheels are inside the tracks.

Hi Harrier,
I prefer making USA trains since they're very underrepresented in the game at the moment (especially 19th century ones).

No, I mean the sound. The model is wonderful.

@Duke Flapjack it was based on a real sketch of the Grasshopper's design from the 1850s, so blame that sketch artist, not me haha

I love it but the whistle is a bit...large? Honestly that's the only criticism I have.

@Delta, thanks a bunch.
It looks kind of imbalanced, though.
Horse carriage can transport 3,3t with 4 horses and the regular steam truck 6t. 33t is quite a jump.

I'll use it to haul your great machine to work, though!

@Monchmandel, I would recommend checking out the Heavy Steam Crawler mod by Novu. It's the main vehicle pack I use for 1800s starts: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865158193

Do you have a recommendation for a mod to transport this builder in realistic mode?
