Class-U 2100N Atomic Locomotive
Type:
General purpose railway locomotive
Cost:
$111,212
Speed:
260 km/h – Locomotive only
200-240 km/h – Locomotive plus 8 powered carriages
Powerplant:
Nuclear, 4x steam turbines generating 2100sW. 4x train wheel assembly electric driven.
Description:
A large nuclear-powered locomotive and one of my first Stormworks vehicles. After some experimenting with diesel-electric in the early stages, the Class-U was built anew for the purpose of making the Arctic run in good time without any fuel cost. Although the locomotive was not aerodynamically designed for excessive speeds, it generates a hefty surplus of electricity to transfer to powered carriages for additional drive.
The locomotive is equipped with a modular reactor unit that can be removed and replaced if needed. Note that if you toggle the reactor’s bottom connectors from the locomotive’s cockpit, you will have to toggle it back on in the cockpit and on the reactor itself to reattach it.
Operation:
-Flip the battery master switch on the master panel, located behind the seats.
-Turn on the reactor and powerplant on the powerplant control panel, located to the right of the driving position.
Wait a minute or two for everything to heat up. The turbines may take a few more minutes to spool up to max, you can set off in the meantime once power is sufficient. Power generation will settle at 2100sW and boiler pressure will eventually settle at 5.6 once condenser reserve tanks are filled up.
-Select forward (or reverse), located below the set speed lever, and push the set speed lever up to desired speed, the locomotive will automatically accelerate or brake to stay close to the set speed.
Press the track switch button next to the forward and reverse buttons to switch tracks. The forward-facing camera on the monitor can be zoomed in for a more distant view of track switch positions.
Radio control via another Class-U locomotive:
The radio control panel is to the left of the passenger seat.
-Turn on the transmit radio on the primary locomotive and set a frequency.
-Turn on the receive radio on the secondary locomotive(s) and tune in to the same frequency.
-Flip the remote control switch on the secondary locomotive(s), located on the master panel.
Radio control via command carriage:
-Turn on both transmit and receive radios in the locomotive(s) and set a different frequency for each.
-Flip the remote control switch on the locomotive(s).
-Turn on both transmit and receive radios in the command carriage.
-Tune in the receive radio to the same frequency as the locomotive’s transmit radio.
-Tune in the transmit radio to the same frequency as the locomotive’s receive radio.
