[Obsolete] The 'Warthog' II medium shunter renovated (1000T)

A quick update to the cabin shape after release of diagonal/triangular train windows by Xaerthus

This complete renovation of a Warthog II medium shunting locomotive https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1855013433, dubbed "Glass-chrome Abomination" takes advantage of the newest advances in train building components. While designed to make shunting efficient and easy, it can be used to haul light cargo (up to 100T) or passenger trains. The main features include:
- High comfort of operation (especially shunting) as all the controls and engine inventories as well as the nearby switches can be accessed from the operator's rotating chair.
- Unobscured view from the cabin thanks to panoramic windshields and large side windows.
- Very good stability even at high speeds.
- Relatively high pulling power.
- Low subgrid count thanks to the elastic bogie suspension by Xaerthus.

Survival ready.
Max pull (shunting): 500 T (+/-3%), 1000 T (flat, risk of transmission damage)
Max velocity: 210km/h, advised exploatation max: 160km/h
Cargo:
100T: 60/65km/h (avg/max)
50T: 90/95km/h (avg/max)
Passenger:
3 X-RAI Thunderboxes: 155/160km/h (avg/max)javascript:ValidateForm()
4 X-RAI Thunderboxes: 140/145km/h (avg/max)

WARNING!, though capable or reaching the speed of 210km/h the shunter should not be operated for an extended time at speeds above 160km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in the damage to the transmission system. Also the (small) wheels need to be inspected for damage relatively often (access through the external port on the sides and the internal ports in the floor of the cabin).

Tip: In order to be able to connect the controls, switch the speed readouts, etc. while seating in the chair bind the 'leave chair' key to one different from 'use'.

Enjoy!

Many thanks to mod authors for their excellent work, especially to Equinox, Peaceman, Wolfgar7474, Centron, Storied, Xaerthus and Johnbeere. I owe special thanks to Xaerthus for adding diagonal and triangular window panes to "Train Parts: Windows" mod.
