Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheAuldGrump" data-source="post: 1618280" data-attributes="member: 6957">I don't know if this is the place to put this or not, but I have created a few upgrades for steam engines in Steam & Steel.Vehicle Upgrades - the following upgrades are for the Steam Train  (p. 108) Some may be suitable for other vehicles as well.Cow CatcherA wedge-shaped cage of iron straps mounted to the front of a steam train engine. A cow catcher provides the train with an additional +4 bonus on its automatic Bull Rush against any target of Large-size or smaller, but lowers the damage to 5d6 as it shunts the target to the side. Neither bonus nor damage penalty applies to targets of Huge-size or larger.+150gpWarning Bell.A simple bell that may be rung to let people know that the train is coming giving a +4 circumstance bonus to hear the train as it approaches.. +5gpSteam WhistleA louder warning signal, and in an emergency a way of venting steam from the boiler. (The signal for an out of control engine about to crash - a piercing whistle that ends when either the brakes finally hold or the engine crashes.) The whistle grants a  +10 circumstance bonus to hearing the engine coming. The use of the whistle to vent steam grants a +2 circumstance bonus to the maintainance check for massive damage.+25gp.HeadlightA lantern with reflector attached to the front of the steam train engine to show obstructions on the track ahead. Grants a +4 circumstance bonus to Spot and Search for the area 100 feet in front of the train. It also grants a +10 circumstance bonus to Spot the train from its front. The lantern may be either oil fueled or magically lit using Continual Flame. +10gp (and the price of the Continual Flame if used.)  Snow PlowAn enormous plow blade mounted o the front of a steam train engine. A snow plow allows the engine to move at half speed (30 ft.) through snow up to 5 ft. deep. This may not be used with the cow catcher, but grants an identical bonus and penalty to the bull rush attack. +250gp.Crane CarUse in constructing the line and recovering derailed steam trains the crane car is a smaller version of the dockyard crane (p.64 & 67) mounted on either a steam train carriage or, more rarely, on the back of the steam train engine. Though smaller it has identical abilities, maintainance, and cost to the dockyard crane, with the additional cost of the carriage or steam train engine wagon, whichever is used.The Auld Grump*Edit* Cut off the Snow Plow and Crane Car, by accident.*EDIT 2* And I would love to see other people's additions as well!</blockquote>
