DONKK LINE #715 EMD GP15 (ADVANCED)

Description
Hello, This is my GM ElectroMotive Diesel GP15 numbered DKY 715. I do hope you enjoy it! Please watch the tutorial video for how to operate this locomotive as it is alittle complicated.

FEATURES:
-Seperate Locomotive and Train Brakes
(I forgot to mention in the video that the Train/Automatic brake is 'Direct Release' which means that the brakes WILL NOT release until the Automatice Brake lever is at 0.00. This is accurate to freight cars in the U.S. and most other parts of the world.)
-Appropriate labeling for all systems
-CNW cab signalling system
-Semi-realistic startup, shutdown, and running procedures.
-Working Brake lines(hoses)
-Darn close in size to in real world counterpart
-Lighting and all that other jazz you have come to expect in Stormworks

UPDATE: 13 JAN 2019
Now, if the Independant Brake is set (by any amount over 0.04), the Alerter will not activate (provided the system is turned on).

UPDATE: 20 JAN 2019
FIXED THE ENG ROOM DOOR!!! HUGE thanks to Xcinos for finding the problem and presenting a solution! MANY THANKS!!!

UPDATE: 27 FEB 2019
Locomotive now has working heaters for those cold nights out on the main line. To turn them on just use the same switches as before marked as 'Engineer and Helper's Heaters'.

UPDATE: 20 APR 2019
Made a BIG update today!
- The Fuel tank now holds a more accurate 10264 L or 2710 GAL (which is close to the REAL locomotive's 3000 GAL)
- Ditch lights now project light (this is controlled by the direction of the reverser, which is NOT realistic but convenient)
*Note this allows the main/top headlight to be used as a marker when running light power or if you want to "dim" the lights when stopped.
- Cab Signal Induced brake applications now only apply the brakes 0.85 instead of 1.00 (to simulate a "suppression" application rather then an emergency application)
- Head of Train Device (HOTD) got a bit of a rework. It can now apply the brakes in an emergency application (1.00 brakes applied).
*Note: To "recover" or release the brakes after an emergency application first move the Automatic Brake Lever all the way to 1.00. Then turn the HOTD emergency switch off, then release the Automatic Brake to 0.00, the brakes should now release
- The "Back wall" panel now has both a Hot Engine Light and a Low Battery Light. The 'Controlling / Controlled' key switch now only controls polarity of the traction motors. If the locomotive is in "Trail" or rather not being controlled from it's own cab the switch must be in "Controlled". By default the switch is in "Controlling".
- The "Engine Run switch on the control stand allows the throttle to rev the engine without providing tractive effort. This must be ON when the locomotive is leading, and OFF when in trail
- The GEN FIELD switch on the control stand connects the engine to the traction motors to provide movement. This also must be ON when the locomotive is leading, and OFF when in trail

UPDATE: 08 AUG 2019
-The radio can now be used to "punch up" switches to remotely "throw" them. Either type in 44011 or 44066, you will hear yourself pushing the keypad and the switch point indicator will change aspect.

Again, I do hope you enjoy it. If you have any comments or concerns please let me know so I can fix them and make this better!

BIG thanks to Donkk for letting me use his paint scheme and MrNJersey for his great tutorials!

Pigzerd, alright well when I get some time I'll take a look at it, these locomotives are in dire need of an update anyway. Have a good day!
Pigzerd 19 May, 2022 @ 7:23pm 
No i didn't. I could have missed something but there isn't much necessary to get it moving.
GERUNIMO  [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 7:12pm 
Pigzerd, did you have any difficulty understanding certain steps in the tutorial video?
Pigzerd 19 May, 2022 @ 6:37pm 
Yes, i did. The train just never moved.
GERUNIMO  [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 5:39pm 
Pigzerd, sorry by "off" I mean did you release it, (Railroader verbage).
GERUNIMO  [author] 19 May, 2022 @ 5:37pm 
Pigzerd, the deprecated gearboxes still very much work. Did you take the handbrake off?
Pigzerd 19 May, 2022 @ 4:36pm 
I haven't been able to figure out why it won't move after starting up for quite a while, i finally figured out a fix, all you have to do is replace the deprecated gearboxes that connect the electric motors to the train wheel assembly with one of the newer gearboxes and set the off ratio to 3:1

nongboii, there is a "door" along the right side of the 'long hood' the engine start switch is in there. Might I suggest watch my tutorial video, it explains alot in it. Hope that helps!
nongboii 27 Feb, 2021 @ 11:04pm 
ho do you start it?

Gerunimo, that sounds to good to be true. Maybe I have a clue which great creator you're meaning ;)
