A reliable diesel powered locomotive built for long journies, complete with an alarm system and extra cabin space for building custom crew amenities.
[Changed since first Upload: Connector Attachment and added Drop-Step Plarform to front door]
The alarm system features three seperate passcode options:
1. Primary Passcode (Large Keypad inside front door)
2. Secondary Passcode (Large Keypad inside front door)
3. Master Override Code (Only Adjustable in the Workbench)
along with adjustable passcode attempt limits and a simple, yet effective, layout.
The driver's seat controls majority of the train's main functions, including coupler controls and throttle/brake/clutch control. The twin cylinder 5x5 modular engine is limited to 20RPS and is paired with an automated cooling system, which will do it's best to keep the engine within safe operating temperatures.
This locomotive uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode.
For smooth acceleration:
1. Press Drive/Reverse (direction selection)
1. Put the clutch to max using W/S, the gauge will read "1" for primary
2. Activate Manual Shift Mode (Hotkey 4), the center dial will read as "1" and the gauge will read "0"
3. Increase the engine throtte to above idle (0.26+) using Up/Down, the gauge will display engine throttle
4. Once rolling, slowly begin shifting through the gears, allowing your speed to steady out between each shift until you reach 6th gear
5. Increase engine throttle incrementally until the desired cruising speed has been achieved
Since the engine is very powerful, the wheels are prone to slipping during aggressive acceleration and/or while shifting gears at high RPS.
There are roof access hatches in the front cabin and the rear generator room, which allow for travel between cab and rear via the roof. The roof has a red illuminated pathway that travels between the two hatches.
The 4 RGB lights on the rear of the train act as a sort of indicator for how the train is operating, red means stopped or very slow moving, green means cruising and flashing red means emergency brakes have been applied. The composite control for the RGB lights are transferred through the composite connections of the couplers, and can be used to control RGB lights on following train cars.
Enjoy, and drive safe!
