Feature Request: Add Support for Extended Bogeys on Wide Gauge Tracks
minecraftplayer247 opened this issue · 2 comments
Description
Currently, Steam 'n Rails offers wide gauge tracks and Comically Large bogeys, which are excellent for heavy or oversized locomotives. However, there is limited support for extended wheel configurations, such as 0-6-0, 0-8-0, or 0-10-0, within the wide gauge format. These setups are crucial for achieving both visual realism and mechanical accuracy in large steam-era train designs.
I’d like to propose the addition of new extended bogey styles specifically tailored for wide gauge use, including:
🛞 Configurations like 0-8-0, 0-10-0, and 0-12-0
⚙️ Visible mechanical features such as axle linkages, steam-driven cranks, and support frames
🎨 A stylized design language consistent with the current aesthetic of Steam 'n Rails (e.g., exaggerated proportions, steampunk elements)
Benefits:
Enables realistic steam locomotive setups for long-haul or industrial trains
Provides creators with more artistic and engineering flexibility
Expands compatibility with existing wide gauge infrastructure and decorative builds
Avoids the need to use incompatible narrow-gauge bogey styles on oversized locomotives
Thank you for considering this feature—it would enhance the expressiveness and mechanical depth of wide gauge rail systems in Steam 'n Rails!
