Pennsylvania Railroad B6 0-6-0 Switcher Locomotive
BEHOLD, MY PROJECT :D
This locomotive is based on the B6 0-6-0 Locomotive of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The model is equip with (probbably not) 'realistic' steam locomotive controls.
How to use the loco:
How to start:
1. Throttle up the lever that says 'Dampener'. This is what allows air into the firebox.
2. Turn the key above to firebox to lite and start the locomotive.
3. Wait until the dial that says 'Boiler Temp' surpasses 100. Shovel coal into firebox if needed. Steam should build once it passes 100.
4. (Optional) Decrease 'Dampener' as you see fit to decrease firebox temp.
5. Turn on the switch that reads 'Condenser pump' to start a water loop, decreasing the amount of water needed to run. (It currently heats up in and slowly becomes less reliable.)
6. If more steam is needed, increase the value of the 'Tender Valve' and press the 'Water Pump' button for as much water is needed.
How to operate the locomotive's movement:
There are three main components to loco movement: the Throttle Lever, the Brake Lever, and the Reverser Lever.
Throttle: Controls steam going into pistons. Self explanatory.
Brake: Controls the locomotive's brakes. Also self explanatory. Although no air brakes (sorry).
Reverser: Controls the direction in which the locomotive goes. Lever forward = Forwards. Lever backward = Backwards.
Other key things to note:
1. The max steam pressure of the locomotive is 15. If it surpasses that number, it will release steam to keep the pistons running fine.
2. Due to some flaws, the condenser (as mentioned before) becomes less reliable over time as the temperature rises. It will slow down water production in the loco and causes a back up of steam, which if over 20 atms of force is applied, reduces the speed and strength of the pistons.
3. This is not TCP compatible (or any other train system compatible (besides coupling).
4. This is work in progress :)
*The Reverser is unrealistic to real steam locomotive reversers, where real ones control the amount of power and speed provided from the pistons to the wheels.
*Some of the screenshots are of older models of the locomotive.
*The Flatbed train car is not mine.
(I'll update this description later (out of time))
