SAx 90 1 "Lux-Torpedo" (1933)

Cabs have been redesigned with custom made windows to further resemble the historical vehicle, as well as provide an overall sleeker line.

Luxtorpeda, the "luxurious torpedo", was a common name for fast first-class services operated by combustion engine single-car trains run in 1930s Poland. This specific model was based off of a petroleum-engine-powered Austrian-made car, marked SAx 90 080; the Polish-made cars were numbered consecutively 081-085.

Powered by four medium Diesel engines, this car is capable of achieving around 250 kph (top recorded speed w/o wind: 262.50 kph).
The throttle and brake levers are combined. Clutch is automatically applied with throttle.
In order to start up the engines one must enter the A cab (the front at spawn) and switch the Main Power Switch, then the Engine Cutoff and push the Engine Starter.
In order to throttle up, press the A key. In order to apply brakes, hold the D key until the Vacuum Brake Pressure dial starts to move. The W/S axis is used for the reverser, which is indicated by the red line on the Regulator & Reverser gauge. The Reverser must be put to direction in order for the train to move; should it be left at neutral, the clutch won't engage.
Throttle up gently in order to avoid wheelslip and achieve higher speeds. For cruising at a maintained high speed, toggle the high gear available from the engineer's seat. It will prevent overheating of engines and reduce fuel consumption.
It is a very light construction and in high wind there is a risk of it being blown forwards or backwards, even with full brakes applied.

For changing the cab make sure you've set reverser and regulator at neutral, as well as turned the front lights and the high gear off. Then procede to the other cab, switch the Master/Slave to proper configuration (if you wish to drive from cab B, it should be on).

Perfect mode of fast transportation to the Arctic: sleek and compact yet capable.
