Assembling Locomotive-Hauled and Long-Distance Consists

Choosing Locomotives and Carriages

If you prefer traditional locomotive-hauled passenger services over fixed multiple-units, the pack includes options for standard rail operations. When configuring your consist in the MTR system, you can select:

• Locomotives: The modern diesel SC-44 Locomotive or the electric RE 460.
• Passenger Carriages: Classic Amfleet coaches or international-style Eurofima Carriage stock.
• Cab Cars: The Metroliner Cab Car, allowing push-pull operations without having to turn the train around at terminal stations.

Checking Consist Features

After spawning your locomotive-hauled train onto the rails, verify that the consist is properly set up:

1. Inspect the exterior alignment to ensure carriages and locomotives share the matching Commonwealth Transport Group livery.

2. Enter the front locomotive or the Metroliner Cab Car to view the driver cab controls.

3. Walk through the trailing passenger carriages to ensure ceiling lights illuminate the seating bays.

4. Take the train on a test run along your scenic transit tracks to confirm that custom operating sounds play smoothly throughout the journey.
