Electric Generator Locomotive (AKA (almost) JUST LIKE REAL TRAINS!!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

I was reading Overlands Elcano challenge and I'm like dang, That's just like a train, he takes it Hard core! Too bad it's mods. :( Then I forgot that engines produce electric charge! So in case you don't know how a diesel locomotive works, it starts with fuel. The fuel powers a diesel generator (engine). It makes electricity to power the wheels. Here is the train, and proof that I did not cheat it!

This "consist" is simply a locomotive and it's loyal B unit.

Features

-Generator

- Powered ONLY be engine.

Multiple tests have shown multiple power levels (engine throttle) for multiple speeds. If only you could change controls, like throttle for wheels.

yes I am, but this just came into my head. Thanks for reminding me though! The engine is supposed to be the exhaust and generator. Fuel cells have no exhaust, unlike real life locomotives. The engine also makes driving more of a realistic task. Engineers of this deal with higher throttle (For engines!) on hills, engine start ups, stalls, etc. Oh and overheats too. I'm taking trains hard core. ( BESIDES track.)
