Fire Queen

The Fire Queen was built in 1848 for the Padarn Railway in Wales, and worked until the mid 1880s when it was decommissioned. I was requested to build it and it's certainly a strange locomotive to say the least. It's long and the wheels are spread far apart compared to other trains. There's the usual front smoke stack and buffers, as well as a gold dome for water. The boiler stretches down the length of the locomotive and a piston each side drives the rear wheels. There's the firebox at the back as well as the coal tender being dragged behind it.

Top speed: 19mph.

Crew: 1 - driver but space for 2 standing.

Controls:
W/S to drive.

Enjoy this new locomotive! It's a strange one, just because it's so stretched apart with the wheel lengths. There's meant to be a rod connecting the two sets of wheels together, but it didn't like it so I had to scrap it, but the rest of it is here.
