Train Locomotive - Cane Train

This is based off of an Australian (Queensland) [Sugar] Cane Train that are common around the area I live.

It comes with the locomotive and 1 Cane Car. It can take up to about 15 cars at once, and you are able to stack the locomotives for more power.

HOW TO ACTIVATE AND DRIVE:
1 - Hop in the cab and flick the 'Instrument Power' circuit breaker in the left hand corner.
2 - Flip the three power switches in the top left hand corner of the cab
3 - Press the two buttons activating motors in the middle of the dash.
Technically, you are able to just up your throttle now, but you will chew through power like no tomorrow, so it's not recommended.
4 - Press the button that says 'Generator Ignition' to start your generator and begin producing power. (If your throttle is below 20-ish and at low speed gear (default gear), you can flip the 'Economy Mode' switch to use much less fuel).
5 - Up your throttle and you'll start moving!

Checklist of things to do to improve your experience in the cab:
1 - Press the button that reads 'Wheel Slip Autocorrect', so if you move your throttle up too high, and your wheels start slipping, the train will automatically fix it.
2 - Turn on the cab lights to your right (when in the seat) by pressing the 'Cab Lights' button.
3 - Turn on the air-con/heater depending on the temperature (Buttons located on the ceiling and to your right respectively) (Air-con does not function, sadly).
4 - Press the button labelled 'Lean Seat' for amazing comfort and relaxation.

Additional Features:
1 - Each cane car has roughly 2000 extra litres of fuel to massively increase your range (A dial shows how much fuel in total).
2 - Brakes; There are two brake setups, you have a lever that can control how hard you brake (Variable Brake) and a button labelled 'Full Brake' to instantly put all pressure on your brakes (Applies to all cars in the convoy as well).
3 - Spotlights; You have two pairs of spotlights on the front of your locomotive, and one pair on the back. The back spotlights only turn on if there is no car connected to the rear of the locomotive. If a car is connected, it will find the rear-most car in the convoy and apply it's rear spotlights. The system will activate some dim lights instead of the spotlights on all cars and the locomotive that the spotlights are not activated on.
4 - Refueling/Recharging Hatch; on the left side of the locomotive where there are two anchors (hose and cable) where you can refuel and recharge the locomotive. To refuel the fuel tanks on the can cars, go to the rear most car, and disconnect the fluid hose connecting the car to the coupling, replacing it with your hose to the refueling tank.
5 - Throttle Override; On the left of the seat, there is a keypad where you can enter a throttle amount, and press the button labelled 'Throttle Keypad Override' to use that value instead of the throttle lever (this can lead to frequent wheel slip, be careful).
6 - A pair of jump seats or passenger seats behind the driver's seat for any others that wish to ride in comfort and style.
7 - A large amount of equipment: 3x Arctic Jackets, 1x Fire Extinguisher, 2x Medkits, 1x Hose, 1x Flaregun, 1x Flaregun Ammo, 1x Night Vision Binoculars, 1x Binoculars, 1x Torch, 1x Transponder, 1x Cable, 1x Empty Large Inventory and 3x Empty Small Inventories.
8 - 2 Radios (One long range and one hand-held). Frequencies for the radio are written next to it.

There is no more homework required to use this train setup, but there are a few more features for you to discover yourself, so I hope you enjoy this as I have spent over 50 hours on this design, and have had tonnes of fun making it.

P.S. Yes, it is capable of taking you to the arctic and back. There is a modified Oil Tanker car in the required items section. More details on it's workshop page.
