    Good morning,
    I am wondering whether the following things can work in TSC, or does it need too much scripting? Could also go into the suggestion box.
    • Shoreliner III supplied with the FL9 and P32AC-DM, can it lead an ACS-64 or AEM-7, or even a P42DC? It likely works the other way around, although I've read that sometimes trailing NPCUs do mess with a loco.
      It shows the Amps and RPM from the loco, supporting both electric and diesel mode.
    • Offline ACS-64 leading a powered P42DC. It does happen in winter when there is a lot of ice, more of a precaution. The electric is used to drive and (required to) pick up signaling, while the diesel is supplying power.
    • Using a battery car. A similar concept to 3rd rail EMUs, the ALP-45DP and the 2 (3) section Gas Turbine, as long as there is power (for gaming purposes, yes, there is permanently, but diesel and fuel can also simulate it), it can proceed. If I understand correctly, said battery car can also charge from 3rd rail or even a panto (will see) but anyway.
