Hello everyone!
Long time no see :) But we haven't been sleeping ;) I'd like to show you some of the latest progress on American Railroads!
A new locomotive has been implemented. It's a 2-8-0 Consolidation by Thomas, complete with tender and cab controls!

The tender. We have put a lot of effort in a historically correct appearance on this one!

Also: A ton of coding, but that's not that interesting to show ;)
Next up: Saving and loading is going to be implemented. Also we have a bunch of new cars in stock, waiting to be added to the game ;)
