The Empire Builder

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Prepare to be dazzled!

I give you: the big one - the largest, most powerful, most aweinducing steamcontraption that ever roamed the rails of the Legoian Empire: THE EMPIRE BUILDER!

 

This quadruplex engines delivers a stunning 14.200 hp and is capable of blazing through the Merimoiya Saltflats at mindboggeling 72 mph.

With a crew requirement as low as 5 stout men, this engineering marvel literally drives itself.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to a new and wonderous area of railroading!
