Ha. Thanks, but not quite. I've always liked trains, so I've read Wikipedia about them a few times. And my brother's a coaster buff, so I picked up a bit of that by osmosis/more Wikipedia.

For more on the subject of tracks and there sizes I would recommend reading about Isambard Kingdom Brunell,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel
As the father of modern steam and railways he would have been able to help us out with this track!

Ha again. People kept suggesting him in the last discussion, too. And you're probably right. But I prefer to ask Tom Thumb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Thumb_(locomotive)

Not that "he" could tell us much, or even has anything to do with this, but come on, the Marylander nerd needed throw something in to counter the Brit.

Hobbeos? I like it! Then we can raid their dens hidden in the depths of the caboose, slaughtering them all to the last hobbelet.

The water tank by the player means this is a train and not a mine. Those things were used to refill trains cooling tanks.
Why is there a train in the imperial ages? Also, could this have been removed from the final game?

[capt_moroni]

we also need to remember, this is technically a different universe. it's totally plausible that it's a train. it could even be a train that runs on willpower for all we know.
either way, it looks like a train to me! and i love it!

Only steam engines needed water-- to make steam. At least as far as I know.

And there could be lots of other power sources.

And "imperial ages?" There have been many empires in many times and at many tech levels-- and in many universes. To which one do you refer?

And yes, it could not appear in the game.

to small for a train track - its possiable it can be the manual hand one with 1 person both side pushin up down but most likely its gona be a mini cart that they just put ore in etc etc

[Walker]

No, I really don't think the gauge is too narrow. Really, there have been narrow-gauge railways on some VERY narrow track gauges.

It could be that it's just orecarts or something... but the looks of the little station-thing and the surrounding scenery doesn't look like it to me, or at least not much.

Of course, it could always be that the Lionhead people plain didn't put all that much thought into their track gauges, and just made them.

[Tsuyu]

I think I have a theory! It makes all the sense in the world!

You know those things that they have on railroad tracks, like a little wagon with a sea-saw on it and you have to guys pumping it to make it move? God knows I don't know what it is called in Swedish, let alone English, but whatever.

Anyway - the big tank is obviously to dump tons of water to cool those two guys off as they ride along, pulling countless mine carts on their tail.

[capt_moroni]

ultimately, maybe it's just safe to say that there will be some sort of rain-like transportation in the new fable?

we all know how they love to leave breadcrumbs like this...

Handcart, in English. Or at least I've seen it called that once or twice. Might have another technical term if you Wikipedia it.

Mmm... tons of water to the head. Not THATS what I call a shower.

[Rolandk73]

I thought of something that would be hilarious. The train tracks should be built by one of those mushroom stoners. He should say something like "I saw this vision of the future, man. These people had these things called trains that would like take them to places. You just have to put wooden slats down and cover it with metal like I did."
Hero or NPC "How does it work?"
Stoner "It doesn't work yet. I think I did something wrong. It needs gas, but I like can't find any beans, man."

trains that will pull human weight can go as small as 7 and a 1/4 gauge, (same size as a U.K size 8 shoe)

[ScareCrowReturn]

Nah you guys have it all wrong, Its Jack of Blades House and he catches the early train to meet his wife and kids.. you guys are so DUMB!

[RachelDisco]

I wonder if you can shove someone in front of a oncoming train...hm...

I would so dissolve into hysterical giggling if it really were that scale of a train.
