ELB Sandra (Heavy duty)

The ELB Sandra (Heavy duty) is a diesel driven locomotive made by ELB productions. The train is compatible with all ELB productions wagons.

Top speed: 312 km/h (No cargo)
cruise speed: 150 km/h (Might vary based on cargo.)
She will tell you if you can't go faster.

ELB Sandra (Heavy duty) is just like the standard ELB Sandra, but she has more gears. This lets her pull more weight at the cost of lower speeds. BUT even with that extra pulling force, she still can go just as fast as the standard Sandra by using the turbo gear. The turbo gear makes her weak again however, so pulling heavy cargo might be tricky in this mode.

Startup:
Flip the main breaker on the dashboard, turn the engine key, and give her some throttle. Sandra should handle the rest.
Remember to use the clutch.


Featues:

Gearbox:
The gearbox has 7 gears, and one last turbo gear. Getting Her into the turbo gear might be tricky with heavy cargo.

Super efficient engine:
When geared up to the turbo gear, she almost doesn't drink any fuel.

Super long range:
It can easily get to both the arctic and the Sawyer Islands on one tank. If for some reason you need more fuel, there is a refuel port on the back.

Anti wheel slip:
Sandra will automatically turn down the throttle if the wheels are slipping. This can be turned on with a button on the left side of the dashboard

Engine overheat protection:
If Sandra's engines get too hot, she will cut the throttle to prevent an overheat. An alarm will also go off, telling you to dial down the throttle a bit.

Composite wagon control:
There is a button on the dashboard for turning any ELB compatible generator wagons on.
A throttle lever for controlling ELB compatible push wagons can be found on the right side of the dashboard.
The brake force gets sent to all ELB compatible wagons, meaning all connected wagons brake when Sandra brakes.
All ELB compatible wagons get counted, and the number of wagons gets displayed above the window in front of the pilot seat.

Here is a list of composite channels in use, and what they send:

Down train:
Channel 1: Brake force (Connected to brake)
Channel 2: Throttle (Connected to push wagon throttle)
Channel 4: Generator ON/OFF

Up train:
Channel 1: Wagon counter
Channel 3: Wheel slip detected

These composite channels are sent through the electric connector that connects the locomotive to the wagons or locomotives.

If you do decide to upload it to the workshop, please mark it as ELB compatible in some way, and consider sending me a link to it, so I can add it to the collection of ELB compatible locomotives and wagons.
