D.S.I.R. #12

Hello World!
___________


Brief History:

As one of the first locomotives widely produced by the DSIR (The Donkk, Sawyer Island Railroad) This S-1 2-8-2 started life as a 2-8-0 built in 1898. after only 5 years in service, the regional carrier decided that the locomotive in its current state, i.e. a deckless engine (where the boiler backhead occupied the majority of the space in the cab) was ungainly and difficult for crews to work with. So beginning in 1904, the DSIR rebuilt all of the S-1's to have an extended cab, thereby requiring the addition of a fixed trailing truck; making the locomotive one of the first 2-8-2s. Depicted here is DSIR #12, built in 1900 as part of the second installment of the class, all named S-1, without sub classes. #12 served the DSIR for 40 years after being rebuilt in 1906, only being scrapped in 1946 after a stent as a yard goat.

Operation:
With all DSIR locomotives, #12 has been simplified for user experience, although some aspects of steam locomotive operation have been retained.

Startup Procedure:
1. Get to the cab of the loco, making sure all hoses between engine and tender are connected properly
2. Light firebox (key above fire door) and open the Damper to 1.00
3. Check water gauge (fireman's side) and add any necessary water via injector on the cab floor (the injector isn't automatic, one must continue to let water into the boiler throughout use)
4. Wait for steam to build up pressure, and move!

*It should be noted that because of the horrendous quality of Stormworks track, and the overall weakness of the steam cylinders modeled in game, that I have added my BoosterSystem so as to make longer trains at speed possible. To use this feature, simply connect up the electrical anchor behind the tender (in yellow by the coupler) to any BoosterSystem equipped rolling stock (coming soon)

*No. 12 is now WABSIM compatible!

I give my thanks to Kahrstrom's xml pipe pack, as without it, much of the decorative plumbing wouldn't be possible.
