The two men worked together to place the locomotive on the tracks, then pushed it along the rails to the open space in front of the main room. Only then did Lin Fei walk over to the others and introduce it.

Overall, there isn't much difference from the blueprint."
"Have you tested its speed? And what's its load capacity? At full scale,
