Okay, how on earth would that work? You got a turbine inlet where the smokebox is, you got wires going to the head of the cylinder, where you should have no holes at all, theres random lines everywhere. Theres no side rods. What is with the lights? And you can't power steam with diesel, you need propane or gasonline for that. It hurts my brain.

it could be a diesel designed to look like steam, à la bbö 1082? or even a steam chassis retrofitted into something more efficient, as the background looks somewhat post-apocalyptic, so maybe it's a waste not want not idea?

there doesn't seem to be an en.wikipedia page for it - i just use this addon

to be honest though, i just searched "bbo 1082", so i imagine you could find just as relevant results as me. it's not that that train is particularly special, i just happened to know of its existence

It's all explained by the use of Unobtainium.
