Description:
Originally posted by Background Info:

A modern Diesel Electric Locomotive mainly designed for pulling smaller consists or doing work on industrial branch lines. – Perfect for the world of Stormworks! It’s a bit of a blend between the two existing Versions and isn’t meant to replicate it down to the last bolt but rather to capture the essential style.

Specifications / Equipment:

  • Vmax: 100 km/h
  • Capable of Multiunit operation in all orientations (thanks to WhiteNoise)
  • RC Reciever for shunting with remote controller
  • Safety Equipment: SIFA, Traction Control
  • Airbrake Simulation (many thanks to XCinos)

Startup:

  1. Battery Isolation: ON
  2. Master Key : ON
  3. SIFA System: OPTIONAL (Please read down below what this actually is before using it)
  4. SIFA Acknowledge
  5. ENGINE START: HOLD
  6. Lights : OPTIONAL
  7. Brake : CHECK RELEASED

SIFA System:
The SIFA System (Sicherheitsfahrschaltung) is a simple Dead Men’s Vigilance Device. It requires a frequent Button input (labeled SIFA) or else the Loco will initiate emergency braking. The System works in three Stages:

  1. – First Stage – No Warning Light / No Braking – pressing SIFA Button will reset Timer
  2. – Second Stage – Blinking Warning Light / No Braking – pressing SIFA Button will reset Timer
  3. – Third Stage – Steady Warning Light + Warning Tone / Emergency Braking – reset Loco (reverser neutral, throttle zero, no brakes )

You don’t need to use this System if you don’t want to. Just leave the SIFA Switch in the OFF Position. If the Loco is stationary it will not require an Input.

FAQ:
I can’t change the Reverser Position or the Shunting Mode?
>Stop the Locomotive and make sure the throttle lever is 0

How can I unfold the Seat?
>Look below the console, there’s a "Stow Seat" button.

Are you gonna upload those coal wagons?
>Yes, I just didn’t have time to properly polish them yet. I wanted to release this anyways since I was working on it for a few months by now.

Do you like trains?
>Yes, sometimes.
