HT3-16.25/A EVA Diesel-steam locomotive
[b] EVA - prototype A, built & used by High Tatras Transit[/b]
[b]EVA[/b] is the first production example of a new diesel-furnace steam locomotive concept, built to prove the design rather than perfect it. Intended as a compact shunter, she relies on three pairs of driven wheels and a straightforward control layout, prioritizing reliability and mechanical honesty over automation.
As an early build, EVA shows her character in operation — steady at low speeds, capable in yard work, but prone to protest when pushed through tight turns. Exterior detail lights can be operated manually or left to engage automatically after dark, reflecting the artistic touch of her engineers.
This locomotive represents a work in progress: a functional prototype already earning its keep while future refinements are still being imagined.
Specifications
[list]
[*] Price - 85685
[*] Weight - 9195
[*] Length - 16.25 m
[*] Width - 4.25 m
[*] Height - 5.25 m
[*] Fuel capacity - 16930 l
[*] Top speed - around 190 km/h on straights
[hr]
[*] Has two boilers totaling to 350l of steam when fully warmed up
[*] Recomending to have the furnace be at 190-200°C
[*] You can check and service your engine via four doors two on each side of the train
[*] The train is equiped with four cameras two for looking at the tracks before and after you as well as two directly overlooking your coupler both front and back so you don't have to run around and can easily control what is happening from your cabin
[*] When you enable shunting in the cabin via a toggle button you will be able to push the train from a top the couplers as they have minimalistic controls for that
[/list]
Startup sequence (recomended)
[list]
[*] Switch the circuit breaker to [b]on[/b]
[*] Set the furnace temperature and radio frequency for [b]track switching[/b]
[*] Start the boiler and fuel pumps at [b]the top left[/b]
[*] Let [b]both[/b] boilers reach 100°C
[*] Don't forget to disengage the brake, also there is automatic braking if the throttle is too low and when you "slam the brakes" the throttle will go down automaticaly
[/list]
Also wouldn't recommend going faster than 100 into turns
This creation is WIP, all suggestions, bug/lag reports are welcome as they would help greatly
All references are purely coincidential tho some inspiration was taken from real life train examples
Enjoy!
