Independent suspension?: Ugh, more coding headaches!  The biggest one I face
now is how to get a second car hooked up to this one and keep everything
purely procedural.

But seriously,  would a real train have independent suspension of that type?
I suppose the answer is no, but they wouldn't go on non-NTSB-approved tracks
like this one, either.   I'm probably going to model two kinds of engines,
1) Thomas-like, and 2) highly detailed from some blueprints of 1910's steam
engines I found at the local library.
