Tacoma Steam donkey with/without housing
After there were no steam donkeys for MSTS available for download I decided to develop my own ones for my 2-ft-routes. The Merv Johnson book „In search of steam donkeys“ offered the examples and the drawings from which I created my donkey.
It comes in 2 versions: 1 with a roof and one without. Both can be animated in the MSTS editor and there`s a snow texture included, too.

Christian, thank you for making this model. I have been looking over some plans of Willamette donkeys for a long time, thinking about building one for my route. You saved me the trouble! ;)
(I might still build a Willamette, if I ever get it together again)

Nice one, Christian. I still have a single drum I need to convert from Trainz to MSTS I promised awhile back.
One day... :rotfl:

A steam donkey is equivalent to a portable gas or diesel engine of today. It did everything that needed powering in the field.
They just didn't have the technology to make 'em as small as they do today.
It's basically nothing more then a portable powerhouse.
They were used to drill oil wells and run the pump.
They were used to load logs on railroad cars and pull trees up a mountain.
They were used to run power tools.
You name it, it was used for it.

It's all they had back in the 1800's, Barry. :bigboss:
