Maybe actually, add steam mechanics?

[FlashOfAsh]

this is just a very general suggestion but, there is not a lot of focus on the steam part of steam 'n' rails. Now sure maybe the rail stuff is a bit much and that caused a lot of problems and maybe steam stuff is on the agenda, I don't know such however, so I can't confirm or deny that. However for out right advertising this as a part of it there is, literally zero additions so far to steam in the mod, not even like a very in development block anywhere. Now I don't expect this to be soon but, with it being out right advertised, maybe it should actually have at least a slight bit of attention at some point. Either way, the mod is already amazing and I am glad that it is great to this point already.

the steam likely refers to steam trains, for which there are smokestacks, fuel tanks for realistic oil burners, boilers, smokeboxes, and new bogies (implemented and planned)

we are absolutely planning steam. We've got at least one update in progress before we'd start implementing steam, and we may decide to wait for Landlord to release so that we don't paint ourselves into a corner and make it impossible to create a fun system for use on trains.
