Description
Built way back in '49, Transcontinental Railways' Atlantic Unicorn was a technological marvel of his time, built with technical advances far ahead of his time, air sanding system and enhanced-adhesion wheel-rim profiles to control wheel slip, re-railer wheels, Clasp brakes on all wheels to improve braking performance to reduce stopping distances, Ultra light-weight motion (rods, pistons and piston valves) to minimize inertia forces and thus balancing requirements (and thus hammer blow on the track), retractable smokestack, better firebox and boiler insulation for making steam faster, high boiler pressure for powering his various gadgets, such as the automated self-repair droid, he was a techno marvel of hs time, but of course his line would not care about the fact he could repair, refuel and even drive himself, however the big wigs in their long table on the top floor of the company building decided "Ok, diesels are here, time to drop every old engine workin'." Atlantic Unicorn soon headed out east to Sodor, meeting some Grandad and his two grandkids whom one had a transforming alien watch. He managed to make it to Sodor via sneaking into the spot where another engine was to be imported, being taken over as he was pulling freighters when Henry wasn't working.

Thought about making this guy after seeing the Ben 10 Reboot episode "High Stress Express" with the Pacfic Pegasus, made something of a opposite to that. Made for 's fav.me/dc5s6ru Contest here, scale and made with in mind as well, idea by me pretty much.
