A deviation from my usual Space stuff... the Wardale 5AT.

Quoting the MOCPages page, "The 5AT is a 3000 horsepower, 115mph modern steam
locomotive, designed by british engineer David Wardale in the late 1990's. If
you have never heard of this machine it is because it only exists on paper".

As with my previous FFVII locomotive, I'm surprised that nobody has tried to
model this yet; from the moment I even HEARD about this thing, I knew I'd want
to build it sometime. Then again, I'm not sure obscure or well known this
machine may be.
