Excellent idea some of these locomotives are Code K Electric dual voltage 25kv 50hz AC and 3kv DC these are 19-23E. When it comes to 15E & 9E locomotives these need a locotrol system for the Iron Ore Trains because a diesel locomotive 44-000 or 39-200 is the mid train locomotive that is controlled by the Electric locomotive. Code B Electric AC
It would be great to see more international routes in TSW3, but could you put subtitles on some of the locomotives, please?
Good stuff but suspect unless DTG can find a local partner to work on the project, sadly not a cat in hell's chance.
