Excellent work - I am sure that the UDF would be keen to dispatch a team to evaluate the potential for this design to be deployed on the rail networks of Elwynn Proper.

(OOC - is this from the Junior General site like the steampunk gravship? I seem to remember that I lifted the starting point of some of my early tank designs from that website, quite a handy resource)

OOC: Yes, it's from the Junior General site. Although it's been modified, and I obviously had to come up with appropriate specs.

(Very admirable nonetheless. I shall try and be decent and refrain from attempting to borrow one for *ahem* domestic politics)

Ah, artillery - a man after my own heart! I may acquire a few of these myself, as those Ceruleans can be quite bothersome out there in the old lands.
