Three Rooflines, One Main Line

Loose factory parts spilled out of vaults at midafternoon while Mac_Attack9 emptied the old Steam Syndicate yard. “it looks so sad here now without my factories,” he said. By bedtime, there were three large buildings on the new ground, a station waiting inside one of them, and a windmill refusing to acknowledge glue.

The first visitor was shaxter_323, arriving with inspection paperwork and discovering that the factory floor contained no machines yet. “why called me then XD” came the verdict. They left with a factory-police hat and an appointment to return when there was something properly hazardous to inspect.

Then the town arrived in earnest. Boofreon and skhl20 walked the site, admired the Pannier-tank train and worked out how the main line could pass through a second platform. “it will be an awesome stop,” he said. When the windmill later turned out to be glued in vertical strips instead of one moving whole, TheArkanite diagnosed it, skhl20 finished the repair, and the mill finally turned at full strength. “enjoy your power,” came the farewell.

By morning, the district had a name: New Steamford. It had begun as a relocation and ended as part of town.
