The locomotive is somewhat heavy, so the quality of the rails needs to be quite good.
The total length of the rails is one hundred meters.
He was filled with anxiety about this.
Because this involves the issue of construction volume.
It was clear that he was short on manpower here.
How much iron and how many sleepers are needed to lay this one hundred meters of circular track?

Currently, this model machine, when filled with water, weighs about five hundred jin.
During testing, it also needs to carry over a hundred jin of charcoal, plus a person sitting on it.
The total weight is about eight hundred jin.
About as heavy as eight bags of grain.
Ma Lin remembered pulling eight bags of grain with a cart, which was very heavy and extremely strenuous on the soft dirt road.
Most of the roads here were soft dirt roads.
