Frisian Class 12 2-6-2T Steam Tank Locomotive - LMT-FSK - Frisian Livery

Background Information

---

The Frisian Class 12 is a Frisian general-purpose steam tank locomotive designed to operate in urban environments, retaining a decent range and top speed at the same time. It was intended to function as a scaled-up alternative to the Class 7, providing greater power and speed in a slightly larger vehicle, and acted as the basis for the future Frisian Class 14.

The Frisian Class 12 was designed by the Frysk Spoarbaan Komitee (more specifically by Ljouwerter Motorbedriuw - a member of the FSK - which itself is a subsidiary of Ljouwert Marine Technologyen). In urban environments such as that of the capital - Ljouwert - there was little room for existing infrastructure such as turntables to be enlarged, so trains like the Class 12 were designed to be as small as possible (as to fit on said turntables) while still having higher power than many of their alternatives.

This one in particular is one of the versions operated by the FSK. You could use it to pull around your Stormlink carriages, or to lug some stock wagons or ore hoppers.

Operator's Manual

I would like to preface this by saying that the Class 12 is by no means an easy-to-operate vehicle. It will require a good bit of micromanaging, especially if you are trying to pull a load, so it may be a good idea to have a friend on board as your fireman.

In order to start the Frisian Class 12, you must follow this process;
1) Enter the cab through the doors in either side.
2) Navigate to the left side of the cab.
3) Push the cylinder lever button (near your feet) for at least 5 seconds. This will ensure the cylinders are empty. If you are restarting the train after stopping it before, this may release some steam, which is normal.
3) Press and hold the firebox hatch open while you shovel in 2 units of coal.
4) Press the 'Air Pump Steam Valve', 'Water Feed Pump Valve' and 'Steam Generator Valve' buttons.
5) Turn the 'Vacuum Brake' lever to its full setting (1.00) at the driver's position.
6) Turn the 'Electrical Firebox Igniter' key under the red lever (you will have to crouch to reach it).
7) While the firebox heats up, shovel more coal into the firebox until it is full. Make sure you check it every minute or so to make sure it's as full as possible when the train is running. It would be a good idea to have a friend to help with this.
8) Wait for the boiler pressure to rise to at least 3 units. You may want to wait longer if you are pulling a heavy train.
9) While you wait, turn the 'Reverser Wheel' up to 0.04.
10) Release the vacuum brake & push the regulator up to your desired value. The train will start to move.
11) Done! Make sure you keep an eye on the gauges in case you need to micromanage something. This train takes a little bit of practice to use. Don't feel bad if you can't get in and use it straight away. It would be a good idea to have a friend on board to help you.

IMPORTANT:
- The 'Reverser Wheel' is effectively like a gear selector lever. Between 0 and 0.04, the train will move forwards at its regular speed. Between 0.05 and 0.1, it will speed up (but have less torqure) Anything below -0.01 will set the train into reverse. Make sure your regulator is set to 0.00 before you change this.
- Do NOT idle with the blower valve active. The boiler will overheat and explode. It is ONLY to be used when you need a boost to your power when pulling a train.
- The train's water tanks can be refilled from a blue coloured hose anchor located on the top of the train.
- If the train is starting to overheat and rise in pressure, turn off the firebox igniter and hold down the button you pressed in step 3. Make sure your blower valve is also set to be off.

Known Errors

---

Vehicle sometimes randomly explodes near rail bridges
After lots of troubleshooting, I can confirm that this is not an issue with the vehicle - for some reason, the developers built the bridges and the slopes leading up to them weirdly, so the train sometimes hits an invisible object and explodes. I would suggest turning off vehicle damage when you're near them to counteract this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot fix it.
