LOCO Small Blank Chassis - DH Train

Add your own body! Note that it has less power and is less stable than the large locomomotive chassis.

Drive Wheels and Guide Wheels both have their own groups - Bind "Increase Wheel Speed" and "Decrease Wheel Speed" of the "Drive Wheels" group from the cockpit of your finished vehicle for control. They (currently) work with the settings as they are, but feel free to experiment.

"Coupling" landing gears are colour coded, and are named as such in the terminal (orange and yellow). They also are grouped together and can also have autolock/unlock controls bound from the cockpit.

When building, you can change the shape of the base as, but you should not space the guide (side) wheels further apart than 19 blocks (else it'll get stuck round corners), and you should keep the couplings and wheels at the same height.

If you want it to be compatible with the track components featured in the Construction Kit collection, the pillars in the middle show the recommended body height: 7 blocks above the base line (Yellow). Maximum height: 9 blocks (red). You may also want to check that your finished vehicle fits through the Collision Tool gap: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=564410652
