PLEASE ENSURE INFINITE ELECTRIC IS OFF

The series G3A is an upgraded variant of the Series G3, with an updated bogey design and improved engine cooling for much greater tractive effort.

The Series G3 is a mainline locomotive built for the Klyukovina State Railways, but exported to various other nations as well. It is quite fast with a top speed of 120km/h, and is often used for both freight and passenger operations.

Connections:
– ORANGE: MU/passenger lighting/heating cable
– BLUE: Airbrake trainline hose
– RED: Airbrake brakeline sharing hose (ONLY FOR OTHER LOCOMOTIVES)

Features:
– Working airbrake (5 bar nominal trainline pressure)
– 120km/h maximum speed
– Multiple Unit capable (through MU cable, trainline and brakeline sharing)

Startup:
– Turn on all breakers
– Turn on ignition key
– Hold starter button until engine is fully started (takes a few seconds)
– Ensure all motor breakers are on
– Turn on motor power button
– Enter cab
– Disengage parking brake (at the rear of the cab)
– Turn on compressor
– Pressurize trainline (hold up arrow until trainline reaches ~5 bar)
– Set reverser to desired position by holding A or D (reverser lever is the leftmost lever)
– Raise throttle to start moving
– Release reverser

Note that the reverser is locked when throttle is above zero, but resets otherwise.

Huge thanks to Andrei11033 for the prime mover, Lazy Cat for doing the engine control logic and Cruzer for providing the boxcars used in the screenshots.

Brake system is based off Lassi‘s.
