steam powered minecart for Minecraft Education Edition.

Steam power is one of the most important discoveries in history. The first tractors, cars, and trains were powered by steam! We still use steam power today in some electrical generator facilities. I think it would be great to have a part of MC Education Edition all about teaching oblivious kids about steam power, and THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRAIN AND A TRACTOR, REGADLESS OF THE FUNNEL ON THE BOILER!!!!!!! I think that kids need to know how steam power works, and how it changed the world. THEY ALSO NEED TO KNOW THAT ANY VEHICLE THAT INCLUDES PARTS LIKE BOILERS, CYLINDERS, AND FUNNELS, DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE VEHICLE IS A TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is A train stereotype, and I DO NOT appreciate it!  Any way, I think that there should be a steam powered minecart that can be connected to other minecarts using chains. This engine should simulate how a real engine should be handled. you need coal and water to be used as fuel. You should have to regulate the steam pressure or the boiler will explode. you also have to have enough water in the boiler, for the engine to run long distances. Coal and water must deplete over  time. I really hope you consider my idea, and remember this is only for Minecraft Education edition. I think that this is important for kids to learn. also I really like trains and I'm getting tired of the lack of trains in the game. the minecart itself is not enough for me, and many other people. I'm also bored of tying pigs to balloons In MC Edu.

    Also, you must remember to try and make the engine the same scale as the existing minecart and tracks. All the train mods that I've reviewed make the trains big and bulky to the point that the trains don't fit on the track. Other mods make the track larger, and they don't fit the over all Minecraft aesthetic. I want the this to feel very Minecrafty! Also, don't make any extra minecarts other than the engine. We just use the normal minecarts for passenger cars, the minecart with chest for freight cars, and the minecart with hopper for hopper cars. And then we can couple them together with chains. After that, Minecraft will be complete for me!
