Dvojičky by 4smiler
[EN]
Twins are types of locomotives in a two-part design, which were designed to transport heavy trains in harsh terrain. This pack contains 3 models of these locomotives and 5 skins. An older type of twin type 125.8 is a broad-gauge locomotive, which was designed for a broad-gauge line from Haniska near Košice to Uzhhorod. These old twins still ensure the transport of iron ore for the Košice Ironworks. A sadder fate awaited the Polish twins marked as ET 40, which are currently not in service. Newer twins type 131 were designed for transport on a normal gauge for demanding lines in eastern Slovakia. To this day, they predominate in Slovakia in freight transport and often go to Ostrava and Poland for coal.

Dvojičky sú typy lokomotív v dvojdielnom prevedení, ktoré boli určené na prepravu ťažkých vlakov v sklonovo náročnom teréne. Tento pack obsahuje 3 modely týchto lokomotív a 5 skinov. Starší typ dvojičiek typu 125.8 je širokorozchodná lokomotíva, ktorá bola určená na širokorozchodnú trať z Hanisky pri Košiciach do Užhorodu. Tieto staré dvojičky zabezpečujú ešte dodnes prepravu železnej rudy pre Košické železiarne. Smutnejší osud čakal Poľské dvojičky s označením ET 40, ktoré v súčasnej dobe nie sú vo výkonoch. Novšie dvojičky typu 131 boli skonštruované na prepravu po normálnom rozchode pre náročné trate na východnom Slovensku. Dodnes prevládajú na Slovensku v nákladnej preprave a často zachádzajú do Ostravy a Poľska pre uhlie.

-> All models were originaly produced in one year and it’s a pretty short time, therefore I made them aviable for 15 years since the start of production.

Normal liveries were green and yellow for 125.8 as well as 131 type (they are in the pack), but factory ones on type 125.8 were olive green, which are also in this pack. For 131 type I made a factory green livery with old markings (E 479.1001) which is currently a herritage unit in Slovakia. For ET 40 type we picked this specific livery (thx to Toprus100).
