Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 617.8 Hz, 88 cents sharp of D5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A steam locomotive burns coal or wood to boil water in a long boiler. The steam pushes pistons back and forth, and rods turn that push into the turning of the big driving wheels. The first steam locomotive to pull a train on rails ran in Wales in 1804, and for more than a hundred years steam trains carried people and goods around the world.

The engine puffs smoke from its chimney. Tap it to blow the whistle: a jet of white steam shoots up from the whistle and a big cloud billows from the chimney. Pick the color of the engine in the Splash tab.
