After many hours of building, decorating, balancing and testing our engineers have the honour to present the third real life replica locomotive available in ME. This time the chosen model is the Br 50, the most famous, successful and numerous European locomotive of the 20th century. Over 3100 locomotives of this class were built and they were used in some places almost up to the 90's.

The locomotive in ME is a functional successor of the old Minotaur class - a medium strength cargo locomotive suited very well for all but the super heavy tasks. Due to the use of 5.5 diameter wheels it is also quite good in pulling passenger trains (just like the real one). It is a very good and universal choice for your developing industry.

Place blueprint on straight piece of track and you are ready to go! If built in survival, put 10 weights inside the jar located under the cab of the loco and 5 into each jar on the leading bogie.

*********************************************************************************
- The loco can be switched on and 'grabbed' by one click on the control block behind the firebox shutters.
- The engines can be refueled by clicking on the down-rear part of the side of the engine. It is a bit tricky at the beginning but once you know where to click, its easy to use.
- Clanging and crackling noises are normal and should not be worried about.
- 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.
