ZS621/DE2 "Shunter"

Description
Backstory

This started as a Replica of the DE2 Shunter of the game Derail Valley but got a few Detail from the original ZS series 621.
Actually, it is a diesel electric locomotive but I decided against it and built it as a direct drive because it is more user friendly that way.


Startup Guide

To start jump on the train standing in front of one of the two stairs, open the door and press the flipswitches for the motor and the system, these are located behind the driver's seat. Also press the "request Master" button, the green light indicates that this train is the master now.

Start the engine and wait until the train has built up enough pressure for the brakes to release.
Shift the reverser forward. (off > on)
Increase the speed with the "Notch up" arrow keys.
The maximum speed is 80km/h like the original.
To brake, press the "Independent brake" arrow keys.
To brake the whole train with its trailers, press the "Trainbrake" arrow keys.
Shutting down the engine takes a while, around 20 seconds.


Multi Unit Guide

For multi unit use, grab a cable, located left to the bright-blue cable anchor in the front or back.
Connect the two Shunter via the cable and flip the switch right of the cable anchor. The train in the front is now automatically the master, if you want to control both trains from the train in the back just press the "request master" button there.


Make your own trailers

The trainbrake is transmitted via the electric connectors on composite via number channel 6. If a uniform standard exists I will revise this again.


Update log

Update 0.1: Added AntiWheelSlip Microcontroller, if the train gains speed notch down and up again till you reach max speed. the system works like this so you dont have to hear wheelscreach all the time and youve got something to do ;)
Update 0.11: Added a Clutchgauge to the panels to easier see whats going on
Update 0.5: Replaced the old wheel assemblys with the new train wheel assembly x1
Added a multiunit controller, so you can now drive 2 or more Shunter connected with a cable from only one cab.
Added a Trackswitch button in the roof as a quality of life update
Update 0.6: Added proper light support for multi-unit use and added a request master system


and now happy shunting

Hey, just a small request, would you be willing to publish the train control microcontroller to the workshop? I'm currently using it in a few trains of mine, due to how good it is.

@OSSlayer: thanks,the shunter runs very slowly out of electricity when notch is less than 4, if you fear of running out of electricity when not near the shunter just flip all switches behind the driverseat to off.

This engine is perfect I dont know why, though it does run out of electricity it seems and the interior lights are kind of dark. What is the tanker in the pictures as well?
