Rolling Stock in Immersive Railroading

Rolling stock is divided into Locomotives (power units) and Cars (payload units).

Locomotives

• Steam Locomotives: Require Water and Solid Fuel (Coal, Coke). They must be heated to 100°C to generate steam pressure before moving.
• Diesel Locomotives: Powered by Biodiesel or Fuel. They require a warm-up period and use a throttle/brake system.
• Electric Locomotives: Require overhead catenary lines or third-rail power (depending on configuration and add-ons).

Freight and Passenger Cars

• Hopper Cars: Transport bulk items (Ore, Coal). Can be automated with Track Augments.
• Tanker Cars: Transport fluids (Water, Lava, Oil, Biodiesel).
• Passenger Coaches: Feature interior seating for players and NPCs.
• Animal Carts: Specifically designed to transport Mobs (Cows, Sheep, etc.) and Villagers.

Assembly Process

To build a train, place a Frame (cast in the Casting Basin) onto a track of the matching gauge. Right-click the frame with a Large Wrench to see a list of required components (Wheels, Bogies, Engines). Right-click the frame with each component to install it. Once all parts are added, the train is complete.
