Jet Fuel Tanker Car w/ JKnuckle
From the workshops of JodianGaming comes a heavy hauler for all your delivery needs. This basic tanker has been designed to carry up to 154,125 litres of fluid and is fully capable of moving the fluid in and out without the assistance of a 3rd party pump. This tanker is, technically, able to carry any fluid but to make things easy on users I have color-coded and labelled the train car to represent a "JET FUEL" tanker.

JKNUCKLE CONTROL SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------
To give more of a simulation feel to my train system, I developed a unique "knuckle" and microcontroller combination that allows all of my JKnuckle train cars and engines to literally "speak" to each other. This system works on a Master/Slave control scheme, where the "Master" vehicle sends out the commands and the "Slave" vehicles obey the commands. It's important to note that you can only have ONE train car/engine set as the "Master" in the train consist, or weird stuff will happen (just like in real life). To prevent such errors all JKnuckle enabled train engines/cars are set to "Slave" mode by default, and only engines will have the option to be switched to "Master" at the conductor seat. So what does this actually mean for you?
Well, if you have a train with 3 engines, you can use the "Master" engine to control the brakes, throttle, and reverse toggle of the other 2 engines. The "Master" engine will also control the brakes of any JKnuckle train cars you have attached to it. The train knuckles always search for a valid signal along the train consist, so it doesn't matter where you install the "Master" train engine, it should be able to control the entire train consist so long as all cars use the JKnuckle system. Happy training!
