Euro Dual 9000

Hi everyone, my suggestion for TSW4 is to add the Stadler Euro 9000 (also known as Euro Dual).

The Stadler Euro 9000 is a six-axle dual-mode locomotive which can run on electrified line in 15 kV AC and 25 kV AC as well as 1.5 kV DC and 3 kV DC.

It can also run on non electrified lines. The Euro 9000 have a top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph), a traction power of up to 9 MW and a hauling capacity of 500 kN up to 65 km/h (40 mph).

This locomotive can be used on both freight and passenger traffic (even if it’s mainly used for freight).

This machine can run on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and in the Netherlands. Some version can also run in France and Spain, in Turkey, in Norway,...

This locomotive is used by DB, Green Cargo, Captrain, ELP, HHPI, Rail Force One,...

The Euro 9000 is equipped with several safety systems such as the ETCS (European Train Control System) (not sure if it’s level 1 or 2), PZB and all the systems for Belgium,…

The Euro 9000 can be a great addition to TSW3 especially on Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg, it can be also nice on a new timetable for Hauptstrecke Hamburg-Lübeck or for Nahverkehr Dresden-Riesa (it can replace the DB BR 363 for shunting operations).

To achieve its full potential, it would be necessary to create a line equipped with ETCS.

this would rather belong into the suggestions tab, however I do agree, it really does seem like a nice loco. it'd also be the first loco in TSW with a centered driver seat in the cab, which is unique.
