I've been stuck in the same place for about a month now and I can't unlock the next level. The last one that I completed in 'Boom Town' and I can't move on to the next. I thought that maybe I needed to go back and get more objects from the other worlds but I've been through them over and over again. I'm sure that whatever I need to do is really obvious, I'm just missing it. Can somebody please tell me that I need to do to move on?

Hi all
I am stuck on the bit that asks you to put an engine on a horse and make it follow you. I have done this but after it says you have to take of the engine and destroy it. I have taken off the engine with the line tool and placed it on the ground and it blows up or goes up in a puff of smoke, but nothing happens, I’m still standing there wondering what I have done wrong.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
