Found it; An older KSP version rover, up on Minmus, examining a tear in the terrain. This rover had a SCANsat BTDT scanner, as well as Hullcam night-vision, among plenty of science. The 4 little monojets (old style Puff engines) on top were an emergency anti-flip measure (worked great).

44 class mark 6.5 (in progress currently)

 

IlXE8X1.jpg

44 class diesel electric mainline locomotive -

Engine- Twin Detriot engines with alternator running off aviation fuel

Traction motors - 12 L class Landliner wheels, high torque maximum speed 35m/s running off monopropellant transmission medium

Horns - Twin air horns on cab roof modelled from legacy LV-1R engines modified to emit an wonderfully deafening sound on activation

RCS/Sanders - Nose mounted course correction thrusters running off primary monopropellant transmission medium controlled by SAS

with bogey mounted RCS functioning as sanders (they fire opposite to gradient when ascending - pushing wheels into the ground for traction

 

Maximum range - modular dependant on tanker wagons & configuration

Domain of operation being kerbin with home depot as KSC1

 

Previous models include legendary EMD powered 4408, 4427 & Spacetrain 4402

Related to 40 class locomotive 4003, 4016 with class leader D4001

Mainline operation since KSP 0.25+

What mods do you use for the train's cab and generators?

The Cab comes from Sam Hall's lovely Kerbonov Kn-2 on curse,

https://mods.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/220999-kerbonov-parts-pack

it contains mini jets, the cab (cockpit to most people heh :) ) with full IVA, "Stock-a-like" in that Sam hall himself made some of the original stock stuff anyway

I don't know the exact story but, it really does seem as though this was ment to be stock, the IVA is fully functional. professional and perfect for both trains, rovers and aircraft. based off the realworld Antonov An-2 aircraft respectively

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2

It also includes RATO single use rockets, grid fins, a nice kerbal hood ornament and a single passenger can that predates and is vastly superior to that of the current mark 1 rather useless passenger pod.. in that its actually got DOORS! :) (and full IVA)

The generators I use are a modified version of the included mini jet turbines, reduced in size, modified extensively in the configuration files and altered to use the sound of a detriot diesel engine (or EMD engine from a class 66)

they produce monopropellant from the alternator and wired to give no thrust

its been the mainstay of everything that is KSP to me since 0.25, I highly encourage it to be used as a cockpit for rovers and any manner of craft

its never failed me :)
