Motorized cargo railcar v2.0 (Long range)
Motorized cargo railcar v2.0 (Long range)
A new version of my simple electric railcar, this time - with a Diesel generator. It now has enough range to easily do a trip to the Arctic and back.
Features:
-8200 L Diesel tank
-Over 200 km of range (the generator can run at full power for 95 minutes)
-Max speed of 190 km/h
-Simple controls
-Anti-slip system
-2 cabins for bi-directional operation
-Backup cameras
User manual:
1. Get in the seat
2. Make sure the cabin is activated (orange button)
2.5. Turn on the generator (press the button under the camera display)
3. Turn the headlights and the cabin light on
4. Release the brake (press down or pull the lever on your right)
5. Increase the throttle (press W or pull the lever on your left)
6. When you reach ~100 km/h, engage gear 1 (on the right), which should increase your speed to ~145 km/h. After it settles, you can engage gear 2, which shoud get you to around 190 km/h
To switch tracks, press space (or the button next to the brake lever)

If you're carrying a heavy load (over 5k), the anti-slip system might not be able to handle gear changes - you'll need to manually reduce the throttle.
Be careful at sharp turns because of its long body - slow down to avoid derailing
Press 1 (or the red button) to activate reverse.
It can only be driven by one person. You cannot activate both cabins at once.
Container connectors have no release button, because there already is one on every in-game container.
