Hermes Logistics Am.497 Freight Train
The Hermes Logistics Am.497 mk1
This versatile freight train is an absolute unit, it will serve you well in whatever you ask it to do, whether it be hauling containers, gas carts or other trains, it will do it with ease.
It is my most detailed build to date! Took me roughly one week from concept to finished project and it houses many details and systems that actually teached me a lot about detailing and trains in general.
It’s appearance may be unusual, but that’s what makes it unique! I like it, and I hope you do to!
Features
- 4 cylinder 3x3 engine that pushes it well over 450km/h when unloaded
- A top speed of about 80 km/h while pulling the brick
- Many details throughout the locomotive
- Decently realistic, but not user unfriendly
- Standard coupling system (compatible with 454ss’ builds)
- Plenty of lights
- Horns and bells!
- Maps
- My first couple of LUA coded displays!
User manual
Startup procedure:
- Head into the breaker room and make sure all the breakers (except the emergency power) are on.
- Go into the cabin and press ‘Request Master’ (Located above the big map display).
- Flip “Lock master”
- Turn on cabin lights and adjust however you like.
- Turn engine systems on.
- Take a seat and off you go!
Hold speed
To hold your speed, like a CC, you can either enter a speed in the keypad bellow the throttle handle and press ‘Hold speed’ or just press ‘Hold speed’ (This will keep you at your current speed).
If you want to change your speed, you can enter your desired speed in the keypad and double press ‘Hold speed’, this will reset it and bring you to the speed you want to be at.
Everything else is labled and easy to access!
Things to note
If you want to use (anything of) this vehicle in a video or a workshop upload, that is completely fine! Please do put the link in the description though, that'd be much appreciated. (Don't straight up upload this vehicle though).
If you have any recommendations for changes or upgrades, let me know!
Above all of everything I said, have fun with it! It's designed to be used and to have fun with.
