Southern Pacific Daylight GS4 #4449 Spawner

Please note - This is a spawner, due to the actual train being much too large to spawn inside the normal workbench.

The Southern Pacific's Daylight route was a passenger route that ran on SP's coastal railroads between Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. It is often considered the most beautiful route out of all of SP's passenger trains. Both the train and the scenery were considered some of the best in the world, with the train's distinctive red, orange and black paint scheme contrasting well with the California coastline. The line ran from March 21, 1937, until being taken over by Amtrak on May 1, 1971, where it still runs today as the Coast Starlight.

Southern Pacific GS4 Class #4449 was one of the locomotives that pulled the Daylight service during its peak, being put into service in May of 1941. It was eventually removed from the Daylight line due to dieselization. It then occasionally saw service pulling passenger trains and fast freight, but was retired in 1957. It then sat in storage until 1974, when it was chosen to pull the American Freedom Train, a train that toured around the country for its Bicentennial anniversary. Afterwards, it pulled an Amtrak special, and was finally retired away from the elements in 1977. It remains the only GS4 class locomotive in existence.

This model attempts to recreate the glory of the Southern Pacific Daylight in Stormworks. It has a top speed of around 70 KM/H, mostly due to limits due to its steam power, and its modelled drive wheels. (It is not recommended to put the trains throttle to maximum without vehicle damage turned off.). It spawns as a mission, due to the entire locomotive and tender being far too large to fit within the train workbench. It can be spawned as any other mission would, with locations for Spycakes rail terminal, Camodo rail terminal, North Harbour rail terminal, and Endo rail terminal. It can pull several railcars, although at reduced speeds.

Spawn instructions:
Download the mission, and load your world as normally. You will then have to click "Addon editor" in the escape menu, where if you click "Load addon" and then go to the "Workshop" tab, you should see the item. You then mouse over the location you would like to spawn it at, and click "Test Location". It should spawn.

Use instructions:
To start, it is extremely simple. Just press the "Firebox Activate" toggle button, and wait until you see steam venting out under the cab, and the "Boiler Pressure" gauge is above 9. You can now engage the throttle, and it should work simply. For prolonged use, check the firebox coal level about every 5 minutes of runtime on the "Coal level" gauge located above the firebox. If it is running low, simply turn around and press the "Coal release" button to dispense coal from the tender, and put it in the firebox.
To shut down the locomotive, you have 2 options. You can either press the "Cutoff air to firebox" button, and leave the train for a few minutes as the firebox cools down, or you can remove all of the coal from the firebox, simply by hitting E or Q on it to take it out, and then Backspace elsewhere to drop it (It despawns). Both should be fairly simple and work pretty quickly.

Other info - The train has standard connectors (1 electrical connector 4 blocks above the ground). It carries a limited water supply (An estimated 20 minutes of runtime's worth, though it can be refilled via the liquid ports at the bottom of the tender (It holds about 80,000 litres of FRESH water). I will possibly upload some sort of train carriage for it at a later point, and also the train in the Freedom Train Livery. It also cannot spawn in multiplayer, unless you are the host. (I am planning on uploading the actual vehicle incase you have a modded workbench, in which case it would work in multiplayer.) I also realize that the IRL train was fueled by bunker oil, however this really isn't possible in game right now, so coal will make due.

Thanks to PirateJake2000 for helping me figure out why it kept blowing up :)
