Class 52 "Western Courier"

This was developed by me and RMC. I developed teh engine systems and the bogies and skirting, while RMC did most of the heavy lifting with the body, cab, and cab systems. This is also the last RMC brand locomotive for a while. I will be releasing a special Livery based on the special edition I have given to RMC.



Description beyond this by RMC.
A very pretty chrimson Class 52, this livery is D1062, also known as Western Courier. This train is relatively powerful when testing. It has 2 engines and is a little bit harder to drive due to the 2 braking systems included.
To start and drive:
1. Enter one of the two cabs and turn on the master switch.
2. Go into the engine room and in the utility cupboard; behind cab A. And turn on the Engine Electrical Relay switch.
3. Go back into the cab and set the reverser to engine only using the up/down keys (visual reference at the top left of the cab)
4. Set the headlights, release the air brake with a/d, check the direct brake is at full with left arrow/right arrow.
5. Hold either engine A or engine B start switch (one engine start at a time) until you hear 3 chimes.
6. Once both engines have started select the desired direction of travel using the reverser
7. Verify the brake reservoir needle is indicating 1.
8. Release the direct brake
9. Start increasing the power incrementally to avoid wheelslip with w/s.

Driver notes:
-When the parking brake is enabled, both brake handles are in the maximum position, emergency brakes have triggered or you are in neutral or off, when applying the throttle, it will act like a DRA and not apply power.
-Never go to full power when starting to move off from a stop as wheelslip will nearly always happen, always be within reason when applying power.
-Direct brakes will apply harder on this unit as this is unit has 3 axle bogies/trucks.

This unit does not have multiple working as the real one did not, however this train is still fitted with PMS, guard buzzer and ETS equipment.
Have fun
