[BROKEN BY THE UPDATE] 231-K Pacific locomotive - ENGINE

• Rework of the steam engine with additionnal turbine to get more power
  
• Added Super-Conputer to manage all logical links and save performances
  
• Added a generator output dial on the right side of the cab
  
• Rework of the interior of the cab to get closer to the real locomotive

After working on the previous two articulated garratt type locomotives and a heavy express locomotive type 241-P, I decided to make one of french most famous locomotive : the 231-K "La flèche d'Or" (Golden Arrow).
I'm proud of the overall result and I was careful to keep it very close to the real locomotive.

This loco is powered by a Steam boiler connected to the Steam pistons and a steam turbine with a generator.
As the big train wheels are completely bugged, I made an auxiliary electric transmission to help the loco to move smoothly with heavy loads.

I tried to made this loco as easy as possible to drive.
To start the boiler you only have to turn on the key on the top of the firebox.
I made everything concerning the steam engine automaticaly managed so you have no chance of boiler overpressure explosion or overheat.
On the righ side of the firebox you can switch on the water pups to refill the boiler.



In-game :

• Max speed (light weight) : 22.5m/s (80km/h = 49.5mph)
  
• Max speed (heavy weight) : 16.7m/s (60km/h = 37.2mph)
