+'''Steam locomotives''' are the first locomotives. The sight of a passing steam locomotive harkens back to the old days of railroading. [[Big Boy]] is a steam locomotive.
−In basic terms, steam locomotives can be divided into the '''tender''', which houses fuel and water, and the '''nucleus''', where the action happens. In more technical terms, steam locomotives are made of 48 distinct parts, more complex than a [[bell]], which sometimes counts as a 49th component.

+==History==
+[[How It's Made]] produced an entire okinesque episode devoted to steam locomotive reproduction. This fascinating process takes 2,763 years to complete.
+===Part 1===
+[[File:The Vault.png|thumb|The vault in action.]]
+A once mighty [[bank]] made a [[vault]] and filled it with [[coal]] to trick [[Paige Theft|robbers]]. It then declared the vault useless and turned it into a thing on wheels for their entertainment. Created by the dreaded [[Royal Bank of Canada|RBC]].
+===Part 2===
+All steam locomotives come with [[FreeSmart]] action figures. This is due to the second ingredient's heritage as FreeSmart's [[Clubhouse of Awesomeness]], as all but the metal exoskeleton was disintegrated alongside the [[Eiffel Tower]] by corrosive [[acid]].
+==History==
+A long time ago, steam locomotives were the only locomotives. [[Richard Trevithick]]'s [[Pen-y-darren locomotive]] was the engine that started it all. [[Puffing Billy (locomotive)|Puffing Billy]] further expanded the steam saga, while [[Stephenson's Rocket]] perfected it.
+
+Steam power reached its climax when [[Big Boy]] made his debut. It wouldn't be another 70-80 years until he landed on [[The Wiki Camp 2]]'s campgrounds.
