Description:

Since a lot of mechanics changed in 0.7, there was no point in converting the first iteration of 'Pegasus' into the new version. Instead, large parts of it were rebuilt. It has a new, latest suspension design, three engines instead of two, a major driving unit update and a whole new tender design that connects to the loco without any gaps!

*******************************************************************************************************************
Setup instructions:

1. Place blueprints of engine on a straight and level piece of track and your 'Pegasus II' Class is ready to use!

*******************************************************************************************************************
Operating hints:

- The engines can be reached for switching/grabbing throttle by climbing on the front of the engine and walking on the sideskirts.
- The engines can be refueled by clicking on the down-rear part of the side of the engine from over the sideskirts. It is a bit tricky at the beginning but once you know where to click, its easy to use.
- If the wheels slip add more weights to the weighting barels on the driving unit.
- Clanging and crackling noises are normal and should not be worried about.
- Sometimes whels can get slightly damaged during use. Generally it shouldn't do anything bad, but just in case check your wheels for damage after arrival at destination.
- The engine has no breaks. To slow down, just decrease the throttle. If more stopping power is needed, throttling up in reverse works great.
- Do not stand freely in your cab while going fast. Bad things may happen otherwise. For better visibility use spectator cam. For slow and delicate manouvres you can also just stand outside. Due to positioning of the chair it is also possible to use third person view, but it does sometimes strange things, so don't be surprised.
