Description:

Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 made by Redstonista

built in about a month, it is a huge train powered by the "walschaerts valve gear system" v 2.0 build by me and powered by 20 total pistons, in this build I tried to faithfully reproduce almost all the details of the big boy irl (this build is more intended as a display piece, even if it still works … approximately);
I recommend NOT to spawn it in advanced physics but in ph5 or less due to the amount of lag it can cause;

known problems are the W.v.g.s. which has some problems moving in ph1 due to the weight of the locomotive;
the locomotive mounts the working "Mallet" system on the frame, but sometimes the boiler does not turn correctly with respect to the frame due to some strange collision that shouldn’t be there, this happens especially with very tight curves;
last problem I know is that it cannot reverse tight corners without derailing

Commands:
1- W. forward
2-W. backward
3-help trusters can only be activated if either 1 or 2 are activated
4-whistle
5-release system (experimental)
