FD20 Steam Train | Full Train

This locomotive is not my first train, but it is my first steam locomotive. It usually turns out that all the first buildings are terrible, if not visually, then certainly physically.
This table will demonstrate how compatible this locomotive is with my systems that are (or are not) installed on my other trains.


Although a steam locomotive cannot have an automatic locomotive alarm system due to the absence of one during the years of operation of this handsome man, as well as MUTC, but I had to indicate their absence. However, auto-pneumatic brakes already existed then, moreover, they had already received further growth in Russia separately from the rest of the world.

FD20 ("Felix Dzerzhinsky with an axle pressure of 20 tons-forces", also "Fedya", "Fedyuk", "Felix") is a Soviet mainline freight steam locomotive from the time of the industrialization of the USSR. It was produced from 1931 to 1942, but was used until the 60s of the last century, when it was initially replaced by steam locomotives of the "Л" series (immediately after the Second World War), and then by diesel trains and diesel-electric locomotives. It was the most powerful steam locomotive in the USSR.

The fifth pair of driving wheels is missing.

Maximum speed - 71 m/s | 256 km/h | 159 mph (without a locomotive tender, with accumulated steam reserve, at maximum power, for a short time);
Cruising speed - 42 m/s | 151 km/h | 94 mph (at 28% steam throttle);
Weight without tender - 9,489 (excluding water and coal);
Weight with tender - 13,795 (excluding water and coal);
With a load of 127,000 (excluding water, coal, locomotive and tender), the speed is 18 m/s.;
Coal reserve in the locomotive and tender - 108 + 1755 units;
Water supply in the locomotive and tender - 28 950 + 23 600 L.;

A rather lazily made brake system. The reasons were described above.
