Very cool to see a fireless engine in the sim! Also, that custom HUD looks really nice. Thanks for leaving the link! 10:33 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah - they are essentially a giant can of compressed air, the boiler is separate to the engine, they were and still are very useful engines for shunting. back in the days of steam instead of waiting hours for your steam locomotive to be up to steam. a factory running on steam could use some surplus steam to top up this little loco to shunt while losing the noise and smoke and have that shunting ability when they want it. a clever little gimmick which had it's use.
