X-Plane Static Showmans Traction Engine 1.0. A showmans road locomotive or showmans engine is a steam powered road-going 'locomotive' designed to provide power and transport for a travelling funfair or circus. Similar to other road-going traction engines, showmans engines were normally distinguished by the addition of a full-length canopy, a dynamo mounted in front of the chimney, and brightly colored paintwork with ornate decorations. This X-Plane model includes night lighting and animated smoke. Model made from scratch in SketchUp 2016 using photographic textures and converted for X-Plane with Marginal's SketchUp2XPlane utility.
