The Inspiration for the Franklineer was when I was laying on my couch. I was really bored, and started to think about trains, especially Union Pacific Big Boy 4014. Then, I thought about streamlined trains... wait. This gave me a inspiration to combine them together to create a huge streamlined locomotive. It looked more like a 2-8-8-4 rather than the 4-8-4 on the revised version. That's when I decided to build the Franklineer.

It took me around 4-5 days (I think) to build the first version. The first version was much larger and had a wheel arrangement of 4-6-6-4, very close to the original. Here was the flaw; I used INNARD's control panel and 3-4 other designers' creations for the whole interior: the whole thing! At that time, I wasn't really inspired, and I took it as a win.

Ok, you know you can set up the licence thing, right? And when someone copies your creation, do you want to make it private?
This was what derailed the Franklineer.
So, a couple guys copied my Franklineer (mostly the original, I think.) At that time, I was Good Cop, Bad Cop. And I made a life changing, shameful, and disrespectful thing: I. Made. The. Franklineer. None Derivative. Work. (I mean, I slapped a couple of copied pieces on it, and I was so sloppy, I had a wheel piercing into the cockpit.) Then: they deleted my old account, and before I knew it, I was in deep agony. I lost everything.

As of the 6-7 months with this account, I thought about the Franklineer. The design. Do I make it, or do I not? "Do or do not?" Then, I took the courage to open a new design, and name it "The Franklineer 2.0) I thought it'll be easy. But, it wasn't.

# data[].attributes.body
OK.... it was pretty hard. So, I started with a base: a diesel engine from INNARDS, but I stripped everything off for a whole rebuild. My goal was simple:
1. Not make it laggy.
2. Group things in to make it look better, and more realism.
3. Not repeat my mistake of making it private, but spitting on copying drools and leaving it public. I didn't want to lose that.
So, I deleted a buttload of stuff, and before you know it, add a lot of shapes, make a custom blue, you're done. Now, that's when I stopped to make the little driver windows so that the engineer just doesn't drive blindly. And that's when one side wasn't aligned with the other. And I thought I was screwed.
Uhuh BC. JUST CHOKE ON YOUR OWN SPIT!
And I did, aligning it for 1-3 hours. HOURS! And then, I called it a day.
Then, I had to do the interior. Now, I wanted to do the same with the first version, but I was struck. If I wanted it to be original, then do it. I searched a bunch of images about steam locomotive cabs until I found Big Boy.
Biggy Boy?
I used two references of the Big Boy to create the cockpit. And after working on it for 3-5? days, I was done. On Aug. 30, 9 pm, I wanted to group everything. Then, I checked everything, just in case... THE BELL AND WHISTLE HANDLES!
I did the handle for the whistle in just 5 min, and found the part I wanted to use for the whistle before wedged inside the train. I used that for a reincarnated purpose: RING THE BELL!
I finally grouped everything, and now I can do a WIDE FRANKLINEER MEME! (Not Included)
You might think, BC! It isn't original. OH YOU THINK SO?
It is original, believe me. I used real wood references for the Navigator's table and used a WikiHow to add the basic controls for the engine. I searched for references on the internet. I mean, the most impressive project!

IT WAS HARD.

So easy. The only problem was aligning the buffers between the locomotive and the tender. ABSOULUTE TORTURE! Then, i did it

Engine #4177, which the number is on the design, is the First Franklineer out of 12. The Franklineer had a large luxury route which people will ride on and experience the beauty of the route, until the arrival of the jet age, where railroads were out powered by air.
If you would like me to be tortured and build a set of couches for it, then this post should probably reach I dunno, 40 likes, maybe? Or just comment below for other ideas.

Incredible. Check out the other pictures.

Side by Side comparison. You probably see that the First actually was larger in wheel arrangement. And sloppy... the original was also ungrouped.

Front Comparison: The second version has a darker blue and a better set headlight. The smokestack isn't shown, and everything is more stable

Just an angle:) One of my favorite pics, this creation is gorgeous.
