A few weeks back I received an interesting comment. It read:
“Why did British tender locomotives not have bogies on the tenders?”
That question has a short answer, with a long explanation.
And in order to keep viewer retention up, I shall conveniently give the answer only after running down the functionality of big tenders!

Happy Halloween, everyone!
In true Flying Scott fashion, I strike when the iron is ashen cold, and I animated Caras very own music video! Enamoured with The Cuphead Shows portrayal of Cala Maria, I found it interesting how close Marias ballad hits on literally all of Caras plot threads I have planned so out. So, being the fool I am, I reanimated the whole scene but with my own fiercest monster from the deep blue sea! Who said you were never going to animate that music video with your own characters, eh?
And heres hoping, nay, praying it doesnt get smitten off of YouTube...

The RED Iron Works is the proud owner of a trio of industrial steam locomotives, making them one of the few operators to still use the iron horses of old. But a sudden New-Mexican heatwave might show up Mann Co.s fancy new technology, in turn giving the industrials a day of fun in the sun!

![[SFM] Mann Co. Railroad Roundabout](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cO0hL4Z-eFM/mqdefault.jpg "[SFM] Mann Co. Railroad Roundabout
The history of railroads operated by Mann Co., Reliable Excavation & Demolition, Builders League United and TF Industries goes as far back as 1890. Their growing empire proved to be the dominant railways in New Mexico, and Mann Co. was well aware of that. Archive footage filmed by an anonymous cameraman is carefully retained, so we can all relive the great days of Mann Co.s mighty Railroad.
Originally just an excuse to animate the trains going by, it blossomed into the first animation Ive made using a script. To fully replicate the look and feel of a documentary filmed in the 60s, shots were all rendered at 720p 24FPS.
