📋 About This Mod
This is a 4-axle diesel electric locomotive built in 1952-1961 based on a variety of heavy shunters of the past and not necessarily based of a single model. It has a practicality focused design which makes it great at what it is designed to do. It can do freight work as well though its not designed for it.
As for the interior, it has many similar features of other American control stands but it also has a two direction speedometer for ease of use in both directions.
The lighting controls are similar to the DE6 and it has a adjustable sander switch just like the DM3 or Steamers for maximum efficiency.
Its performance is on par with the DH4 with its flat ground capacity and uphill dry and wet capacity. However if pushed too hard the TM fuse will blow.
This locomotive spawns at:
Machine Factory
Food Factory
Iron Mine West
Any bugs/issues are to be reported to the Altfuture Discord channel #mods-support-and-bugs or in the built in NexusMods bugs report.
I may or may not have time to address them due to real life complications, however I will try my best.
Please note that the skin is not changeable!
