Same thing happened when I first decided to use this account...
Okay then po.
*Proceeds to genetically engineer hardier algae*
*puts said algae in farms*
Algae is the food of the future!
*Makes algae produce rice*
Yes! Rice supremacy po!
Yay
No thanks steam is much more classy
Yes way better than iiiccchhh diesels
Was I giving you a choice po?
Melicorium, Nicholas and Great Britain, and Klysevia
Yup
I don’t want to reform my railroad infrastructure to Handel electric trains
Don't worry, I will pay for the expenses and send workers po.
Again no thanks I prefer power over speed
And overglorified boilers on tracks have power how po?
Ahem *shows Union Pacific big boy*
Okay po.
*Shows Puwok bullet train*
When I come back to some of my alts, I see around 20,000 unread posts. It was in the North Pacific so thats why there are lots of posts.

Big boy has enough strength to pull a loaded 5 1/2 mile long train on level track
Also if you want speed *shows hyperloop*
We do like to talk a lot here in the South Pacific!

I'm sorry, but I don't speak foot fetishist po.
Hey no need to get aggressive
At least one thing we can agree on is that the Soviet railroads were horrible

Da, Comrade
I thought you might say that
Allow me to introduce the AA20
The large number of driving axles were meant to spread out the locomotive's weight, reducing the axle load and the resulting stress on the track. A group of Soviet locomotive engineers had visited the United States, and presumably they had seen the 4-12-2 locomotives being used by the Union Pacific. The 4-14-4 could be viewed as an expansion of that type. Unlike the successful Union Pacific locomotives, however, the AA20-1 was a complete failure.
The AA20-1 was originally intended to be a 2-14-4 (1'G2'). Construction was undertaken in Essen, Germany by Krupp, following a Soviet design. Later, the unfinished locomotive was moved to Lugansk, where a two-axle leading truck was fitted. The trailing trucks supported a huge firebox. The AA20-1 was intended to run on low-quality coal, so a lot of space was needed to burn it in order to provide enough heat to the boiler.
The seven driving axles were laid out 1.7 m (5.6 ft) apart, giving a very long rigid wheelbase of 10 m (33 ft). This required adaptations to negotiate curves. The center three driving axles were blind, and the first and seventh driving axles were fitted with lateral motion devices. These measures were not enough to make the AA20-1 work properly, however. It was prone to frequent derailments, and its large number of wheels made the engine too heavy for the track. As a result of its long wheelbase, the AA20-1 also spread the track and wrecked the points of the switches as it passed over. It was too big to fit on the turntables, too powerful for the couplers in use at the time and unable to run at full power for very long due to its undersized boiler.

I have no idea who that is cause I'm American! Infamous for not knowing anything outside of America. (I'm better than almost all tho)
