Drivable Passenger Ship

As a little fun project (and proof of concept) I made a drivable ship out of the bultin passenger ship and a stripped down Class 37. It can be driven by AI and the player (with key commands, no cab instruments added). For braking it uses the handbrake.

For the default river zone the track height should be at -2000mm. The max speed is set to 8mph in vehicle definition, but if you drive manually it can much faster. I recommend to use a track speed limit of 5mph before sharp turns and docking places. If you layout your track carefully, it's possible to get quite convincing ship movements.

I recommend to set the ai brake performance for the timetable service to 8%. This way, the ai reduces speed a bit earlier which will look more realistic.

Try it out, make improvements and have fun.
